Frequency bands above 6 GHz are being considered for future 5G wireless systems because of the larger bandwidth availability and smaller wavelength, which can ease implementation high-throughput massive MIMO schemes. However, great challenges around corner at each level, including achievement a thorough multi-dimensional characterization mm-wave radio channel, represents base realization reliable high-performance interfaces system architectures. The main properties indoor channel 70 GHz, angular temporal dispersion as well an assessment major interaction mechanisms, investigated in this study by means UWB directional measurements ray tracing simulations reference, small-indoor office environment.
