Abstract

The research, design, and development of wireless access technologies using the new 6 to 100GHz band mmWave are actively underway in order to address the frequency shortage problem in the sub-6GHz band and accommodate the 5G technical requirements, such as the increased transmission capacity. Technical elements to efficiently overcome the problems caused by mmWave signal characteristics, support an effective interworking with a conventional communication service, and ensure smooth mobility between mmWave base stations and existing base stations are also being investigated. This paper discusses the technical solutions for an mmWave-based 5G RAN configuration and their considerations under various operational scenarios.
