Use Case Analysis on mmWave Antenna Distribution (mWAD)

In the dynamic landscape of wireless communication, the arrival of 6G technology emerges as a transformative force, opening the way for exciting capabilities. This research report delves into the complex domain of mmWave Antenna Distribution (mWAD), a critical aspect in the evolution from 5G to 6G. The underlying concepts to interpret the potential of mmWave technology, particularly focusing on its applications in various areas and challenges. During the research work for this report, we have conducted an extensive survey wherein we analyzed 170 6G use cases from 4 global documents, categorized them into 29 integrated use cases, and extracted 31 requirements. A deeper requirement analysis was conducted for use cases where the application of mWAD is anticipated, and a gap analysis was performed in comparison with 5G technologies.
