Evaluation of Cell Coverage Percentage of Millimeter Waves Propagation for the 5 th Generation Cellular System

Abstract

This paper evaluates the cell coverage percentages of millimeter waves for the 5 th generation cellular system. First of all, a survey on the recent pioneering works and results for channel model characterizations and development for 5 th generation systems is conducted, and then a Theoretical formula for calculating the cell coverage area was developed. The cell coverage percentage is evaluated for 28 GHz, 38 GHz, and 73 GHz propagation channel models. The obtained results reflect the increase in the path loss due to urbanization structure.
