Abstract

The millimeter-wave (mmWave) band will play an important role in the fifth generation (5G) cellular system. The analysis of the propagation characteristics based on measurements in the mmWave spectrum is crucial for the system design and network deployment. In this paper, we present a channel measurement campaign at 28 GHz in the urban microcell (UMi) scenario by utilizing a 3-dimensional (3D) channel sounder. The transmitter was placed on the top of a three-storey building to emulate a base station, and the receiver was moved to several positions on the ground to emulate mobile stations in the line-of-sight (LOS) and not-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios. We utilized four steering high-gain horn antennas to capture the multipath components (MPCs) incoming from all directions and thus measured the power delay profiles (PDPs) as well as the angular power spectra (APSs) of the channels. We have analyzed the impact of the surrounding buildings and trees on the mmWave propagation based on the measurement results. It is shown that the signal power can be enhanced in the NLOS scenarios by building reflections and foliage introduces significant attenuation for the mmWave signals.
