This document discusses the potential for using millimeter wave technology in future 5G cellular communication networks. It explores using the underutilized millimeter wave frequency spectrum to help address the global bandwidth shortage facing wireless carriers. The paper aims to define millimeter wave technology, discuss its pros and cons, applications, and the wireless devices that use millimeter wave technology, and how it could be applied to future 5G cellular communications.
2. Abstract
The global bandwidth shortage facing wireless carriers has
motivated the exploration of the underutilized millimeter
wave (mm-wave) frequency spectrum for future broadband
cellular communication networks. There is, however, little
knowledge about cellular mm-wave propagation in densely
populated indoor and outdoor environments. This paper
represents the mm-wave definition, pros and cons,
applications and wireless devices that uses the mm wave
technology and to be used for future fifth generation cellular
communications.
INDEX TERMS: millimeter wave, 5G, cellular, mobile communications,
Channel model, fréquence Spectrum.
