On the Real Experimentation and Simulation Models for Millimeter-Wave

The emergence of millimeter-wave based technologies is pushing the deployment 5th generation mobile communications (5G), on potential to achieve multi-gigabit and low-latency wireless links. Part this breakthrough was only possible with introduction small antenna arrays, capable form highly directional electronically steerable beams. This strategy allowed overcoming some drawbacks, but a higher price: re-design lower layers by introducing beamforming techniques. impact these changes not well studied layers, in most recent stacks (IEEE 802.11ad, 3GPP). Thus, study real deployments use accurate network simulators play key role, enabling test complex large-scale scenarios. article presents component missing simulation mmWave networks, blockage model. To best our knowledge, first model that emulates effects obstacles Additionally, codebook phased array, Quasi-Deterministic (Q-D) channel also presented. All models are tested compared an outdoor using IEEE 802.11ad standard. simulated real-life tests show similar results, average error for worst case 2.43% (index ranges) 4.51% (distance), standard deviation about 1.33dBm 2.26dBm.
