Propagation challenges in 5G millimeter wave implementation

Abstract

With current technology advances, implementing millimeter wave in real life have become more promising. However, before millimeter wave can be deployed, there are several challenges in terms of technical, path loss and shadowing. This paper provides a review on the challenges that might occurs when implementing millimeter wave. An overview of LTE-Advanced and millimeter wave is made to provide further understanding. A critical analysis is made to identify the problem in rain and haze attenuation, if addressed, will help mobile service provider to overcome the problem.

Seawater salinity modelling based on electromagnetic wave characterization

“…Accurate propagation should be known for each specific environment to tackle mainly the various parameters such as path loss and fading which affect the coverage area and improve receiver sensitivity, respectively [4]. Each up to now the wireless model has its own applicability standards and limitations, including various antenna's specification [5], but up to the present, no study takes care of the gradient seawater salinity despite the area such as the Gulf region and others having a distinguished environment and stark salinity that has been variating from place to another inside the water [6], [7].…”

Evaluation of Climate Change Effects on Rain Rate Distribution in Malaysia using Hydro-Estimator for 5G and Microwave Links

“…The use of wireless communication technology has become essential in daily life. With the technology getting more advanced, more data are transmitted and received in various forms of complex multimedia, including images, videos, and advanced mobile applications that demand more bandwidth and faster data transmission [1][2][3][4]. Thus, mobile communication is in dire need of improvements to meet the growing demands.…”
