Description
Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency range is among operating bands
designated for terrestrial 5G networks. A critical challenge of link-budgeting
in mm-wave 5G networks is the precise estimation of rain attenuation for
short-path links. The difficulties are further amplified in tropical and
subtropical regions where the rainfall rate has a higher intensity. Different
models have been proposed to predict rain attenuation. The distance factor is
an important parameter in predicting total attenuation from specific rain
attenuation. This study investigates the distance factor based on rain gauge
networks and measured rain attenuation at 26 GHz for a 300 m link in
Malaysia. Considerable discrepancies between available models were
observed especially when applied for shorter path links. Also, significant
variability of rain intensity is observed from the rain gauge network. This study
recommends further investigation of the distance factor for a shorter link.
Hence, a measurement campaign incorporating rain gauge networks was
established to examine spatial variations of rain intensity over a less than 1 km
link. The motivation is to develop a suitable distance factor model for 5G mm-
wave propagation.
