Abstract: To support tens of Giga-bits/second (Gbps) data rate, 5G mobile communication systems consider the integration of backhaul and fronthaul links into Xhaul networks. This paper introduces the system-level simulation for mmWave based mobile Xhaul networks. Network scenarios, hybrid beamforming, with large antenna elements, and link-level models are discussed based on the results of the system-level simulation for the mobile Xhaul network. System-level simulation results show that the mobile Xhau network using a 40 GHz carrier frequency band can support a 20 Gbps data rate.
