Abstract

Next-generation wireless communications systems are expected to exploit frequency bands above 6 GHz. An important transition towards such bands will be design of channel models capable of supporting the design of efficient air-interface and networks. In this paper, we describe a geometry-based statistical channel model and apply ray-tracing simulation for its validation. Focusing on path loss and root-mean-square (RMS) delay spread as metrics, we show that the proposed modeling approach is flexible and realistic.
