Trends in 5G Millimeter-Wave Wireless Networking Research

 Abstract

This presentation explains the details of 28 GHz, 38 GHz, and 60 GHz millimeter-wave wireless networking research results. First of all, the embedded prototyping and research results in industry will be presented. After that, the major research challenges in millimeter-wave wirelesss networks will be provided. Moreover, the fundamental link budget calculation precedures with millimeter-wave specific paramters will be provided. Lastly, millimeter-wave frequency sharing study research will be presented in order to justify whether millimeter-wave wireless technologies are suitable for 5G cellular networks or not.

Biography

Joongheon Kim (M’05) has been an assistant professor of Computer Science and Engineering with Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Korea, since 2016.
