Study on Characteristics of Human Body Shadowing in High Frequency Bands: Radio Wave Propagation Technology for Future Radio Access and Mobile Optical Networks

To address the rapid increase in the volume of data traffic in mobile communication networks, small cells that enable data transmission at a high bit rate and use very high frequency bands (over 6 GHz) have been studied recently. Considering that the environment into which small cells are introduced is crowded and dominated by line of sight communications with very high data traffic loads, the characteristics of human body shadowing (HBS) are important propagation parameters. In this paper, we propose a method for analyzing HBS characteristics based on the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction and lossy dielectric flat plates. Calculated results are compared to measured results to show that the proposed method is effective in analyzing the HBS characteristics.
