Abstrakt: The millimeter-wave frequency band (30∼300 GHz) has received significant attention. Millimeter-wave frequencies have been used for backhaul, cell communication, and other high speed communication. With the advent of 5G communication, millimeter-wave frequencies such as 60-GHz band have been attracting attention as possible candidate for next-generation wireless networks. The traditional application for 60-GHz band is point-to-point communication. Some typical scenarios have been cited in a recent 5G white paper. There exist some traditional channel models for 3G and 4G communication. However, 5G has a new channel model (the outdoor-to indoor channel model, or O2I) that has not been clearly studied. Some conventional channel measurements have been conducted for this new band. Two measurement systems in the 60-GHz band for penetration loss and small-scale measurement for different scenarios are presented. By analyzing our measurement data, we can prove that the O2I channel does not generate new paths and only add some material penetration loss.
