Design and planning of a 5G fixed wireless network

Abstract

This research explains how to design and plan fixed wireless access connections in an urban setting using 5th generation (5G) technology in a multi-user urban scenario. Although the antennas used had a high gain, the 28 GHz carrier frequency proved incompatible with the connections due to path loss. The additional loss due to foliage led to a drop in the receiver sensitivity to -84 dBm. The loss due to weather conditions resulted in lower received signal strength. The lower frequency of 3.5 GHz performed better and is recommended to establish successful communication over multi-kilometer distances. As a result, this study demonstrates how vulnerable high 5G carrier frequencies are to typical path loss impairments.

Energy saving performance analysis for future fifth generation millimetre-wave cellular networks

“…However, 5G networks currently face many big challenges, such as limited space in constructing 5G BSs that lead to  ISSN: 2302-9285 serious energy consumption. In addition, the implementation of heterogeneous networks in 5G can improve energy efficiency, but it is difficult to manage [14]. The impact of mobile communication network energy consumption will become more significant in the future as increased traffic load is predicted in future 5G networks [15]- [17].…”
