Abstract

Vertical plane launching ray tracing method has been applied for a real urban scenario and the delay characteristics of received signals in the overall coverage area have been extracted. Using these parameters, an equivalent channel power delay profile (ECPDP) has been introduced for the overall coverage area. For a millimeter wave wireless OFDM system, the optimum guard interval length which maximizes the mean of signal to interference and noise ratio has been simulated. Also, using the proposed ECPDP, the optimum guard interval length has been analytically extracted and compared with the simulated one.
