Abstract

Since scarcity of spectrum in future mobile networks, millimeter wave frequencies from 30 GHz to 300 GHz have been proposed to be used in an important part of 5G mobile communication backhaul links to provide several giga bits services. In ITU-R has been invited to conduct and complete in time for WRC-19 the appropriate studies to determine the spectrum needs for the terrestrial component of IMT in the frequency range between 24.25 GHz and 86 GHz. Also, small cells such as a femtocell, and heterogeneous networks have been deployed through world in order to enhance the communication capacity. At this stage, it is important to develop millimeter wave frequencies to provide 5G mobile broadband services, and thus this paper proposes the effective usage of these frequencies by summarizing the FCC allocation of millimeter waves, their propagation characteristics, the required minimum path length, and the interference effect.

향후 이동통신망에서 주파수 부족이 중요한 문제가 되고 있어 광대역의 주파수를 확보할 수 있는 30 GHz에서 300 GHz 대역의 밀리미터파(mmWave) 통신이 수 기가비트 서비스를 제공하기 위한 5G 백홀(backhaul) 통신망의 중요한 일부로서 제안되고 있다. 이에 WRC-19 의제 1.13에서는 24.25~86 GHz 범위에서의 IMT 용 주파수 결정을 추진하고 있으며, 통신용량을 증가시키기 위해 세계적으로 펨토셀(femtocell)과 같은 소형 셀과 이종망을 구축해 나가는 시점에서 광대역 이동통신서비스 제공을 위한 밀리미터파 주파수 개발이 중요시 되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 FCC의 밀리미터파 스펙트럼의 분배 현황, 전파특성, 최소 경로길이 기준 및 간섭분석 결과를 정리하여 국내의 5G 백홀 링크를 위한 밀리미터파의 효율적 이용방안을 제시한다.
