@article{10902/33188, year = {2024}, month = {5}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/33188}, abstract = {In this letter, the K -factor is estimated in a typical office scenario based on wideband channel measurements carried out at millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies, covering the 25–40 GHz spectrum, in both line-of-sight (LOS) and obstructed-LOS (OLOS) propagation conditions. The K -factor is estimated from the method of moments, applied directly over the frequency samples of the measured complex channel transfer function, and from the power delay profile-based method. Although both methods provide similar results, the method of moments is more appropriate from a practical point of view, especially in OLOS and non-LOS (NLOS) conditions, where the correct identification of dominant components can be difficult. The results are particularized to the potential 26, 28, 33, and 38 GHz frequency bands for the design and deployment of the future wireless networks at mmWave frequencies. The mean value of the K -factor ranges from −1.87 to 1.27 dB for the LOS condition, and from −3.79 to −2.31 dB for the OLOS condition.}, organization = {This work was supported by the MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ through the I+D+i Projects under Grant PID2020-119173RB-C21 and Grant PID2020-119173RB-C22.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, 2024, 23(5), 1553-1557}, title = {Analysis of the Rician K-factor in a typical millimeter-wave office scenario}, author = {Rubio Arjona, Lorenzo and Rodrigo Peñarrocha, Vicent Miquel and Reig Pascual, Juan and Fernández González, Herman Antonio and Pérez López, Jesús Ramón and Torres Jiménez, Rafael Pedro and Valle López, Luis}, }
