Abstract

Knowing the wireless channel characteristics, particularly the existence of a line-of-sight (LOS) connection from the user equipment (UE) to the base station (BS), is key in wireless system development and deployments. The LOS becomes even more important in high frequency systems such as fifth generation (5G) mm-wave and terahertz (THz) systems where the difference in channel characteristics varies greatly from LOS to non-LOS (NLOS) situations. While existing LOS models such as the 3GPP model and others in the literature are valuable, they lack cell-by-cell specificity and/or do not generalize well to different environments. In this paper, we aim to close these gaps and propose generalized models derived from extensive real-world analysis in diverse environments. We also study the performance of our models in system-level simulations in terms of signal-to-interference-ratio (SIR) and coverage.
