Abstract
One of the key research directions to increase the capacity of new radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems is extension of employed frequency bands from sub-6 GHz to millimeter wave (mmWave) range. To investigate different propagation effects between sub-6 GHz and mmWave bands in high-mobility scenarios, one needs to conduct channel measurements in both frequency bands. Using a suitable testbed setup to compare these two bands in a fair manner, we perform channel measurements at center frequencies of 2.55 GHz and 25.5 GHz, velocities of 50 km/h and 100 km/h, and at 126 different spatial positions. Furthermore, we conduct a comparative study of the multi-band propagation based on measurement results. We estimate the power delay profile (PDP) and the Doppler power spectral density (DSD) from a large set of measurements collected in a measurement campaign. Finally, we compare measured wireless channels at the two employed frequency bands in terms of root-mean-square (RMS) delay spread and RMS Doppler spread.
