Abstract

With the advent of 5G, standardization and research are currently defining\nthe next generation of the radio access. Considering the high constraints\nimposed by the future standards, disruptive technologies such as Massive MIMO\nand mmWave are being proposed. At the heart of this process are wireless\nchannel models that now need to cover a massive increase in design parameters,\na large variety of frequency bands, and heterogeneous deployments. This\ntutorial describes how channel models address this new level of complexity and\nwhich tools the community prepares to efficiently but accurately capture the\nupcoming changes in radio access design. We analyze the main drivers behind\nthese new modeling tools, the challenges they pose, and survey the current\napproaches to overcome them.\n
