Abstract

This letter presents a mathematical framework for evaluating the link capacity of an interfered communication link in a millimeter-wave mobile scenario, accounting in detail for the shape of the antenna pattern and for the statistic of the direction of arrivals. The developed approach, whose accuracy is verified by Monte Carlo validations in 2D and 3D wireless environments, does not require simplified antenna models, thus enabling to maintain the actual pattern during the analysis.
