Abstract

The 5G technology is characterized by the use of high frequency band corresponding to millimeter waves, these latter are highly sensitive to the propagation environment and the atmospheric conditions. Thus, for proper planning of future 5G radio network it is necessary to have a reliable tool that can predict the behavior of mm-waves in a particular environment and under some specific climate conditions. This article focuses on the study of the Close in Free (CI) model, a model that combines those two aspects of study. Indeed the CI model introduces an atmospheric attenuations term which is rarely taken into account and considered in the existing 5G channel models. This channel model is integrated in 5G radio planning tool called NYUSIM, which is developed by NYU WIRELESS research group at New York University (NYU). Nevertheless, we found some difficulties and limitations on this software that we tried to resolve, by designing a new tool which will give more information about the radio part of 5G network. The new software is designed in Research laboratory in Telecommunication Systems, Networks and Services (STRS) of the National institute of posts and telecommunications (INPT) in Morocco.
