k calculation assumes single active user. The link budget for the millimeter wave system is shown in Table 10.15. The results illustrate that the uplink and downlink maximum path loss values are similar at approximately 136 dB. The values are substantially shorter than in sub-6-GHz link budgets because we assume higher user data rates and because of the lower base station transmission power.

The propagation models are presented in Chapter 4 and propagation measurements in Chapter 11. Coverage for Sub-6-GHz Band The first part of the coverage discussion focuses on the 3.5 GHz band: signal propaga-
