Abstract

This paper presents the performance analysis of cell coverage and channel characteristics of millimeter-wave (mmWave) band outdoors with 3D ray-tracing simulation. The study is done by deploying the 3D building data into the site viewer and analyzing the link performance in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions by varying the transmitter power and channel conditions. The shooting and bouncing rays (SBR) technique is used to analyze the performance such as path loss and received power under fading conditions. In addition to it, the study visualizes the coverage is under a different number of reflections. Investigations will help the service provider to identify the proper location of the transmitter, transmitter power to provide better services to the user.
