Abstract

The effects of multipath on the statistical cell-edge user service quality is for the first time investigated for mm-wave multi-user communication systems. The focus is given on setting the user spacing constraints and the transmit array topology via thinning, which can be used to enhance wireless security or decrease analog/digital complexity. A hybrid line-of-sight/non-line-of-sight channel is created by using a statistical model following the communication standards. The multipath signal components are included in the model by using non-coherent or coherent modes of operation. It is shown in simulation that selection, by the medium access control layer, of large angular spacings between the simultaneously served users and application of antenna array thinning at the array edges improves the system performance.
