A Comparative Study of CDL/TDL Channel Models in 5G-mmWave Networks
Mahamadi Sogoba, Désiré Guel, Boureima Zerbo
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands play a key role in 5G New Radio (5G-NR). They provide wider bandwidth and support much higher data rates. However, these bands also bring serious challenges. Signal propagation is more complex and affects system performance. This study fills an important gap. It compares two standard 3GPP channel models: Clustere(...)
