Weather Impact analysis of mmWave Channel Modeling for Aviation Backhaul Networks in 5G Communications

Millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum (30 GHz to 300 GHz) is about to serve the 5G communications as the frequency spectrum of 4G and 3G is overcrowded by the users worldwide. However, mmWave experiences attenuation during its propagation from transmitter to receiver on account of various weather conditions like rain, fog, precipitation etc. In this paper we present the impact of weather on the characteristics of channel model of mmWave band frequencies considering rainy season and winter season of Bangladesh. Two carrier frequencies, one from unlicensed V-band i.e 60 GHz and other from licensed E-band i.e 73 GHz are selected and a study is made to observe the behavior of mmWave due to the changes in rain rate, temperature, humidity and pressure. Finally, we draw a comparative survey on different climatic conditions is made to give a general concept on the propagation losses of mmWave link in backhaul network at 60 GHz and 73 GHz.
