Influence of Human Body Movement on 60 GHz Millimeter Wave Channel Propagation Characteristics in Indoor Environment

Abstract

As one of the key technologies of 5G, millimeter wave propagation characteristics is crucial to the deployment of 5G. Due to the large attenuation and the serious path loss during millimeter wave propagation, the human body effect between transceiver antennas is obvious in indoor environment, so the influence of the human body on millimeter wave propagation needs to be studied. In this paper, based on the Shooting and Bouncing Ray/Image Method (SBR/Image), the effect of human body on millimeter wave propagation in indoor environment is studied. The effect of human body on path loss, delay spread and path gain is obtained. The analysis results can provide a theoretical basis for indoor millimeter wave network optimization.
