Abstract :
The millimeter-wave frequency bands, especially the license free band at 60 GHz, is a candidate for future broadband access links. Path loss measurements have been performed in a typical small cell access scenario. Path loss model parameters were derived for these results, including large and small scale effects. Using this model a system level analysis was performed to evaluate the performance of a heterogeneous network using millimeter-wave access links.
