I. Introduction
Fifth-generation wireless network, abbreviated 5G, is the proposed next telecommunication standards after 4G. Ever-growing demands of higher data rates, improved coverage, enhanced signal efficiency, and low latency triggered the research in 5G networks [1]. 5G will support at different spectrum bands and they are mainly categorized into: low bands that are below 1 GHz, midbands between 1 and 6 GHz, and high bands (mm-wave) above 24 GHz [2]. Many countries are focusing on the midband (3.4–3.8 GHz) and 26 GHz (24.25–27.5 GHz) for 5G implementation. Out of many, one main reason to choose the midband frequency over mm-wave is that the propagation losses are more at higher frequencies. Atmospheric loss and path loss are two cases of propagation losses. Free-space path losses (dB) can be calculated by using the following equation [3]: \begin{equation*} Lp=92.4+20 \log f+20 \log d\tag{1}\end{equation*} where is the frequency in gigahertz and is the distance in kilometers between the transmitter and the receiver. With the same distance, at the frequency of 30 GHz, the path loss is 23 dB, which is more than the path loss at 2 GHz. Atmospheric losses (due to oxygen, Fogg, water vapor, etc.) also increase with the increase in frequency.
