Millimeter wave (mmWave) communications are expected to be the forerunner in achieving 5G data rate performance requirements. As mmWaves communications can provide channel bandwidths in the order of GHz, they can fulfill those demands. In this paper we have tested data rate performance of mmWave communication systems operating at 28GHz and 73GHz, in the outdoor environment,
using the ns-3 simulator, in both single user and multi user scenarios. We focused on data rate, as one of the most important service quality indicators. Obtained results have confirmed that mmWave communications can meet 5G expectations and provide services to low mobile users in outdoor environment, at distances up to few hundred meters, with no significant obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver.
