Abstract

In this paper, an open-source simulator named MYUSIM is utilized to find the impact of the Human Blockage loss and Outdoor to Indoor (O2I) loss on the best candidate of 5G mmWave (38 GHz) in the NLOS UMi environment which has been proven the authors in their previous study. For accurate channel modeling, the human blockage and O2I losses play a vital role as in real life situations these losses occur. The previous study includes an ideal condition in which these losses were not considered. NYUSIM uses a four-state Markov process to determine human blockage and two modes for O2I losses which include “High loss mode” for highly lossy materials like concrete walls and infrared reflecting glasses and “Low loss mode” for low loss materials like standard glasses and woods etc. These works are proof to the statement that there is a significant impact of the human and O2I losses on 5G mmWave bands which includes a smaller number of spatial lobes formed, lesser power is received, the pathloss is increased, etc. Therefore, these losses must be considered for modeling the next-generation mobile communication system i.e 5G.
