N2 - Future wireless communication in 5G and beyond will use millimetre waves (mmWave) because of the available bandwidth: however this requires directional antenna gain to overcome the pathloss in these bands. This paper explores the significant issue of multipath propagation characteristics for mmWave communication. We propose the novel distinction between the effective and the environmental K-factor for Ricean channels, and we further derive an approximation in closed form for the effective K-factor for the one ring scattering channel model, and corroborate it by comparison with simulation results.
