Millimeter-Wave Mobile Communication for 5G

Abstract

Due to shortage of global bandwidth to influence the development of fifth generation mobile communications it is necessary to resort to a different approach for bandwidth selection. One approach is to use millimeter-wave frequency spectrum for communication which was initially not used for cellular communications because of their short range and nonline-of-sight coverage issues. The mm-wave frequency spectrum is in use for short range wireless applications but its deployment to wide range of 5G communications is not yet standardized. This paper includes a study about the use of underutilized millimeterwave frequency spectrum for 5G mobile communications. It initially discusses the evolution of 5G.
