5G System Evaluation Tool

We developed an evaluation tool that evaluates the system performance of fifth generation mobile communication systems that use multi-antenna technologies such as massive MIMO and beamforming that compensate for the increase in path loss due to high frequency usage in various areas based on computer simulation. The tool calculates propagation characteristics utilizing ray-tracing and the SINR/throughput based on the Shannon capacity using the obtained propagation characteristics. This report describes the tool functions and presents evaluation results.
