“…Therefore, with the development of 5G, the design of a cost-optimized FWA network is increasingly placed under scrutiny by both academia and industry [8], [13]. The majority of the investigations carried out focus on enhancing the wireless connectivity of FWA networks [11], [13]. For example, authors in [13] investigated an approach to enhance the link budget in a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) path between a RRH and the CPE of 5G FWA system.…”

“…Therefore, there is a need for a cost-effective deployment strategy that is able to satisfy the requirements of both the wireless and the optical transport segments of a FWA network. In the literature there are a number of studies that investigate how to enhance the user experience in optical wireless integrated networks in the context of 5G [9]- [11]. However, the cost-optimal deployment of the wireless and transport segments of a FWA network received minimal attention so far.…”

The fifth generation of mobile technology, 5G is anticipated to be a significant leap in the evolution of mobile communication. 5G will be designed to attain 1000 times higher data volumes, 10 times lower latency, and 100 times more connected devices than its predecessor, 4G. Due to 5Gs ability to sustain high bandwidth per unit area, 5G is considered to be a cost-efficient solution to provide Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) to households on a large scale. FWA is seen as an attractive alternative for fixed broadband access in scenarios where last mile access based on wired technologies is not economically viable. Whilst approaches for enhancing user experience in a 5G FWA environment are investigated in the research community, the problem of providing cost-effective high capacity transport for FWA deployments still remains a major challenge. This is particularly challenging due to diverse transport network architectures and requirements imposed by different 5G deployment models. This paper addresses this problem by formulating a generalized joint-optimization framework to simultaneously plan wireless access and optical transport for 5G FWA networks in order to minimize the deployment cost whilst meeting various network requirements. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework by applying it to a real scenario with a range of deployment options and where different types of optical x-haul solutions are considered. The results provide a cornerstone for deployment strategies that will be imperative for realizing a future-proof and cost-effective broadband access network.

“…More importantly is the outdoor-to-indoor measurements. A 28GHz outdoor-to-indoor measurements made and recorded in [32] [33] were done using a rotating horn antenna channel sounder which can provide an accurate absolute delay information. The result indicated clusters, larger excess delays and larger angular spreads indoor.…”

This article presents a comprehensive review on the feasibility and challenges of millimeter wave in emerging fifth generation (5G) mobile communication. 5G, a multigigabit wireless network is the next generation wireless communication network. The mmWave cellular system which operates in the 30-300 GHz band has been proposed for use as the propagation channel. Its large bandwidth potential makes it a candidate for the next-generation wireless communication system which is believed to support data rates of multiple Gb/s. High frequency bands such as mmWave have channel impairments. These impairments are challenges that are necessary to be properly understood. Employing mmWave as a propagation channel requires dealing with these challenges which this paper is aimed at reviewing. One aim of the work is to discuss these challenges in a more elaborate manner using simple mathematical equations and graphics to ensure clarity. To achieve this, current related works were studied. Challenges and solutions are identified and discussed. Suggested research directions for future work are also presented. One is developing suitable electronic such as fast analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) systems necessary for the transmitter/receiver (TX/RX) system.

“…For the higher frequency bands of O2I scenarios, studies are found to cover many frequency bands, such as 10, 28, and 60 GHz [6][7][8]. Reference [6] studied the indoor coverage at different frequencies (10, 30, and 60 GHz) in a single building with an outdoor-deployed base station (BS).…”

“…But the O2I coverage at 60 GHz may be quite difficult for some building types and the throughput was seriously affected, depending on the wall materials, interior layout, and building size. In [7], the authors presented results for path loss, penetration loss for two different type of housing, including single-family unit and multistory brick building.…”

The fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications system will adopt the millimeter wave (mmWave) band for outdoor-to-indoor (O2I) coverage to achieve ultrahigh data rate. However, it is a challenging task because of the large path loss and almost total blocking by building walls. In this work, we performed extensive measurements on the O2I propagation at 3.5, 4.9, and 28 GHz simultaneously by using a multiband channel sounder. We captured the path loss distribution and angular power arrival profiles. We also measured the penetration loss at 28 GHz through different kinds of glass windows. The widely adopted ordinary glass windows introduce the penetration loss of 3 to 12 dB that is acceptable and makes mmWave O2I coverage feasible. But the low-emissivity (low-E) windows that will be more popular in the future introduce 10 dB higher loss. The measurement results in this work can help analyse and anticipate the O2I coverage by mmWave, which is important for the design and deployment of the 5G network.
