Abstract :
The use of previously unused spectrum in the millimeter-wave band is discussed for future fifth generation (5G) mobile communications systems. The legacy frequency bands are very densely used and free spaces are rare, but the question remains, whether increasing the carrier frequency is a good idea. In this paper we derive frequency dependent link capacities and energy efficiency measures for a small cell heterogeneous network scenario.
