Challenges" for expanding millimeter wave use in 5G

Currently, 5G areas are mainly focused on low-band, mid-band and sub6. On the other hand, the reality is that the traffic capacity ratio of "millimeter wave," which uses high frequency bands, one of the features of 5G, is extremely low. In this article, we will discuss the millimeter wave utilization on improving...
