Introducing 5G+(28GHz) mmWave Campus Test-bed

One of the principal aims of a test-bed is to exhibit and validate recently designed and evolved technology elements. Typically, achieving this goal involves combining a large number of distinct technology elements in a general structure where various trial sites and elements can be interconnected in a diversity of configurations depending on the demands. In this paper, a practical scenario employing 5G+ operating at 3.5 GHz and 28 GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) is performed as a campus test-bed case. This study details a 5G+ mmWave campus test-bed case conducted spanning the frequency range of 3.5 GHz to 28 GHz within the Kumoh National Institute of Technology employing a 5G+ mmWave campus test-bed. The intended outcomes of this particular study are to perform the operation for SG + frequencies i.e., frequency range 1 (FR1) comprising sub-6 GHz frequency bands below and frequency band 2 (FR2) comprising bands in the mmWave range, which covers 24-100 GHz making the mmWave range especially suitable to enable 5G Ultra-Wide-band.
