In this paper, we analyze the spectral efficiency for millimeter wave downlink with beam misalignment in urban macro scenario. For this purpose, we use a new approach based on the modified Shannon formula, which considers the propagation environment and antenna system coefficients. These factors are determined based on a multi-ellipsoidal propagati...

... the global maximum of the received power does not appear for α = 180° and β = 0°. Under LOS conditions, the use of directional antennas and alignment of the transmitting and receiving antenna beams (i.e., beams oriented to each other) provides statistically multiple increases in the radio spectral efficiency (see Figure 4). Of course, this increase depends on the gains of the antennas. ...
Context 2
... use of beamforming antenna system is one way to minimize the adverse effects of MP propagation under NLOS conditions. The analysis results presented in Figures 4 and 5 show that the radio spectral efficiency also depends on the distance between the TX and RX. For NLOS conditions, the double distance reduction increases the radio spectral efficiency by about 0.2-1.2 ...
