Statistical Effects of Propagation Environment and Transmit Array Topology on Cell-Edge User Service Quality at mm-Waves

The effects of multipath on the statistical cell-edge user service quality is for the first time investigated for mm-wave multi-user communication systems. The focus is given on setting the user spacing constraints and the transmit array topology via thinning, which can be used to enhance wireless security or decrease analog/digital complexity....

Site-Specific Ultra-Low-Sidelobe Phased Array Topologies for Sparse Areas of Particular Shape

Optimal design of uniformly-fed aperiodic millimeter-wave phased array topologies for site-specific and quasi interference-free operation is presented. Several use cases with different number of line-of-sight cells in the close vicinity of the base station, and for various widths and shapes of the cells, are analyzed. The arrays are synthesized...
