Today's mobile communications technology will soon become obsolete in the face of increasing demand for broadband data and wireless access. Since the advent of cellular and WiFi wireless technologies, wireless communications have used relatively narrowband radio channels, with relatively low ultra-high frequencies (UHF), and unsophisticated antennas. This project offers to provide fundamental knowledge about the radio channels in a much higher frequency range, where orders of magnitude more data capacity could be delivered to cellphones of the future.The tremendous pending demand for wireless capacity is causing regulators around the world to consider opening up new mobile spectrum in the millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency bands. To date, little is known about the small-scale behavior of mm-Wave radio channels, yet academia and industry require small-scale channel models to create new wireless system architectures and air interface standards that will use directional antennas for the first time. In this project, comprehensive 28 GHz small-scale propagation measurements in an urban setting (Brooklyn, NY) shall uncover key small scale multipath and signal properties that are currently not known or understood. The data will allow for the development of analytical and statistical channel models that are based on directional antennas. Such measurements and models are critical for the proper engineering analysis and design of future mm-wave physical layer and link layer protocols by both academia and industry, and the knowledge from this project could also lead to simulation and emulation products for fifth generation (5G) wireless product development.

面对宽带数据和无线访问的需求不断增长，当今的移动通信技术将很快变得过时。自从蜂窝和WiFi无线技术出现以来，无线通信使用了相对狭窄的无线电通道，其超高频率相对较低（UHF）和未老练的天线。该项目旨在在更高的频率范围内提供有关无线电通道的基本知识，其中数量级的数据容量可以传递给未来的手机。对无线容量的急需需求正在导致世界各地的调节器考虑在毫米波浪（mmmmm-wave）频率频段中考虑开放新的移动频谱。迄今为止，对MM波无线电通道的小规模行为知之甚少，但是学术界和行业需要小规模的频道模型来创建新的无线系统体系结构和空气界面标准，这些标准将首次使用方向天线。在这个项目中，全面的28 GHz小规模的繁殖测量值（纽约州布鲁克林）应揭示当前尚不清楚或不理会的关键小型多路径和信号特性。数据将允许开发基于方向天线的分析和统计通道模型。这样的测量和模型对于学术界和行业的未来MM波物理层和链接层协议的适当工程分析和设计至关重要，该项目的知识也可能导致第五代（5G）无线产品开发的模拟和仿真产品。
