| Summary: | Millimeter wave (mm Wave) is today's
breakthrough frontier for emerging wireless mobile cellular
networks, wireless local area networks, personal area
networks, and vehicular communications. In the near future,
mm Wave products, systems, theories, and devices will
come together to deliver mobile data rates thousands of
times faster than today's existing cellular and Wi Fi
networks for an example from the era of 3G,4G towards 5G
mobile communication near future. This paper presents
studies on rain attenuation at 6 GHz and 28 GHz, which is
widely used for local multipoint distribution service
deployment by using the measured and prediction methods
for terrestrial microwave links point to point in tropical
regions. In this paper, discussion and comparison of five
different reduction factor models have been presented.
Several models have been proposed by researchers to
account for the horizontal variation of rain fall. However of
ITU-R model, revised Moupfouma model, revised Silva
Mello model, Abdul Rahman model and Lin model mostly
been used for rain attenuation predictions in tropical
regions. The objective of these studies to identify rain
attenuation using prediction model for 5G network in
tropical region for country like Malaysia. This study will
provide useful information for researchers by understanding
and good considerations in rain attenuation predictions for a
terrestrial link operating frequency at lower and higher
operating frequencies in a tropical region. At the end of the
analysis, it was found the all the five models predicts rain
attenuation at lesser than 1 dB and 11 dB for operating
microwave frequency at 6 GHz and 28 GHz for 5G
Network, This findings will useful for future 5G network
designers to consider the effect of rain impairments
especially in tropical region. |
