Abstract

The increasing requirement for the mobile data traffic accelerates the research of millimeterwave (mm-wave) for future wireless systems. Accurate characterization of the mm-wave propagation channel is fundamental and essential for the system design and performance evaluation. In this paper, we conducted measurement campaigns in various indoor scenarios, including classroom, office, and hall scenarios, at the frequency bands of 27-29 GHz. The spatial channel characteristics were recorded by using a large-scale uniform circular array. A high-resolution parameter estimation algorithm was applied to estimate the mm-wave spherical propagation parameters, i.e., the azimuth angle, elevation angle, delay, source distance, and complex amplitude of multipath components. With the same measurement system, the channel parameters including decay factor, delay spread, angular spread, and line of sight power ratio are investigated thoroughly in individual indoor scenarios and compared in different indoor scenarios. Furthermore, the impact of the furniture richness level and indoor geometry on the propagation parameters are also investigated.
