mmWave channel propagation modeling for V2X communication systems

We make the connection between next generation wireless standards (5G) and vehicular communication systems. We advocate the importance of transmissions in the millimeter wave band as the only ones capable to provide the Gbit/s data rates required for raw sensor data exchange among vehicles. In this context, our paper describes methods for deriving channel propagation models via ray-tracing simulations for mmWave transmissions with applications to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. It also addresses aspects related to blockage modeling, the effects of diffuse scattering and multipath fading in urban scenarios.
