High data rate at high mobile speed will still be an essential requirement for the future 5G mobile cellular system. High frequency bands above 6 GHz are particularly promising for the 5G system because of large signal bandwidths such high frequencies can offer. And it was shown that by using high gain beamforming antennas, the problem of high propagation loss at high frequencies could be compensated almost completely. But, achieving high speed mobile cellular communications with beamforming antennas at such a high frequency is a daunting task and has not been demonstrated until now. In this paper, we describe a testbed built at Samsung Electronics, Korea, with adaptive beamforming antennas at 28 GHz, and demonstrate feasibility of high speed mobile cellular communications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
