5G and mmWave MIMO Channel Models: Simulations and Analysis

In this paper, the 5G and millimeter-wave channel coefficients have been generated using the simulation. The different parameters that affect the fading channel have been considered for the simulation using the NYUSIM channel model simulator. The carrier frequencies: 6 GHz, 28 GHz, and 60 GHz have been taken for the purpose of detailed analysis. The probability density functions of the fading channel coefficients have been analyzed by varying the carrier frequency and the transmitter-receiver separation. The path loss and path loss exponent are also obtained for varying conditions. For the purpose of illustration, the average error performance of 2 ×2 MIMO system is analyzed for 6 GHz, 60 GHz, and 28 GHz frequencies using linear detectors.
