Abstract

This paper proposes simple procedures to improve traditional statistical millimeter-wave channel models for suburban environments with site-specific geometric features. Blockages by buildings and vegetation were considered and existing models were verified with measurement data for an emulated microcell deployment. The results indicate that a holistic, network-level approach for channel modeling will help deal with the high dependence of millimeter waves on site-specific features.
