Angular Resolved Pathloss Measurements in Urban Macrocell Scenarios at 28 GHz

This paper presents angular resolved measurements in two urban macro scenarios at 28 GHz. The result confirms that the propagation at this relatively high frequency is mainly driven by line-of-sight (LOS) and reflections/scattering. The majority of the energy was contained either in a LOS path or in specular reflections or reflections off smaller objects such as scaffolding, drain pipes, light poles, bikes, and balconies. At all 200 randomly chosen receiver locations up to 350 meters from the transmitter a detectable signal was received in both scenarios and an excess loss of up to 55 dB was measured.
