AoA effects in outdoor V2I parking environments

As millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems become an alternative solution to achieve higher transfer rates and lower latencies, they also induce channel degradations associated with their implementation. In this work, vehicular density impact over multipath contributions in a parking lot scenario is analyzed. The horizontal angle-of-arrival (AoA) information is presented and its relationship with five different vehicle densities is extracted. The angular dispersion is assessed by means of the AoA standard deviation and key representations of the channel characteristics are examined.
