Impact of clustering at mmW band frequencies

Abstract

In this work different clustering approaches are investigated in the millimeter-wave (mm-W) frequency band from measurements and simulations. Multipath Component (MPC) parameters have been extracted from both measurements and simulations using RiMAX. Following this step, several clustering techniques such as visual inspection, K-means, and multipath component distance (MCD) were implemented and analyzed. We have found that, at mm-W, the number of MPC within a cluster is very small.
