Evaluation of Cell Coverage Percentage of Millimeter Waves Propagation for the 5th Generation Cellular System

This paper evaluates the cell coverage percentages of millimeter waves for the 5 th generation cellular system.First, a survey on the recent pioneering works and results for channel model characterizations and development for 5 th generation systems were conducted, and then a theoretical formula for calculating the cell coverage area was developed.The cell coverage percentage was evaluated for the 28 GHz, 38 GHz, and 73 GHz propagation channel models.The obtained results reflected an increase in the path loss due to increased frequency and densification of the urbanization structure.
