Abstract
As we know, the world is rapidly moving towards 5G and B5G technology to achieve high data rates, massive communication capacity, connectivity, and low latency. 5G offers a latency of less than 1 ms and extremely high data volume compared to previous technologies. The main challenge is the complex nature of 5G network deployment, especially at high frequencies (3–300 GHz) on a university campus with varied building structures. In this paper, we will discuss a scenario for deploying 5G at the Mirpur University of Science and Technology (MUST) in Mirpur, Pakistan so that telecom operators and vendors who wish to deploy a 5G network on the campus in the future can draw on our research findings. This article aims to optimize RF planning for enhanced network performance using Altair WinProp for modeling and MATLAB for visualization. RF planning on campus is conducted to propose equipment for 5G deployment, considering environmental impact, socio-economic perspective, spectral efficiency, electrical effectiveness, and latency in the user project. This helps to identify key base station locations, analyzes path loss and field strength, and shows how high-frequency millimeter waves interact with real-world structures.
