Investigation of Channel Properties for 28 GHz Band in Urban Street Microcell Environments

In Japan, field trials on the fifth generation mobile communications system (5G) were started in order to create a new market by actualizing 5G. The 28 GHz band is the most promising candidate for commercial 5G systems. When designing the service area, site-specific channel properties in urban areas are required. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate site-specific channel properties for the 28 GHz band in an urban street microcell environments and clarify that the paths affect the channel properties.
