Abstract

Novel techniques such as mmWave transmission and massive MIMO have proven to present many attractive features able to support high data demand for 5G NR technologies. Towards the standardization of 5G networks, channel modeling has become an important step in order to test the reliability of theoretical studies. In this paper, we study the performance of a 5G network at mmWave range for the downlink. We consider a single trisectorized base station equipped with planar arrays, and we model users as a spatial Poisson process in a hexagonal grid. We adopt the latest 3GPP channel model described in TR 38.901 and we provide a thorough description and step-by-step tutorial of it along with our customizations and MATLAB scripts for channel generation in the presented scenario. Moreover, we evaluate the performance of Multi-User Multi-Layer MIMO techniques, such as Signal-to-Leakage-plus-Noise Ratio (SLNR) precoding and MMSE combined with different system configurations by means of achievable per-user rate.
