Abstract
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) is considered a key technology for 5G wireless communication in order to fulfill the increase rapidly the demand of all services that can 5G offer. However, mmWave channel propagation suffers from several obstacles such as weather conditions, rigorous line-of-sight (LOS) requirement, and short range coverage. In this paper, we simulate the characteristics of a spatial channel for 5G mmWave at 73 GHz. A NYUSIM tool has been used to assist in analyze 73 GHz channel characteristics and investigate the effects of different environmental conditions including LOS and NLOS. The simulation uses MIMO-OFDM technology through two main integrated models; the free space path loss model (PL) and the statistical spatial channel model (SSCM). Several simulation results illustrated the 3D channel characteristics, power delay profile (PDP), small scale PDP, and root mean square (RMS) delay spread for both LOS and NLOS.
