This paper addresses the critical challenge of human-induced signal attenuation in millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications, a key concern for fifth-generation (5G) network reliability in indoor environments. Our study introduces a simplified model to quantify the impact of human body blockage on indoor communication links at a frequency of 32.5 GHz., a frequency relevant to 5G systems. The influence of nearby scattering objects is investigated through experimental measurements involving a human body. Key wave propagation phenomena, including diffraction, are considered for each scattering object. The Double Knife-Edge Diffraction (DKED) model is used to estimate the attenuation caused by the human body (to estimate blockage losses). Through controlled experiments with human subjects, we systematically analyze how scattering objects and body positioning influence signal propagation. The model's performance is validated by comparing simulation results with experimental data. The findings show that the proposed model effectively predicts signal attenuation in indoor environments, providing valuable insights for future studies on human presence effects in fifth-generation (5G) communication systems. Keywords: 5G, DKED, diffraction, human shadowing, millimeter-wave, blockage.

-This paper examines the effect of human body blockage on signal propagation (millimeter-wave (mmWave) signal propagation) in indoor environments links at 32.5 GHz (a critical frequency for fifth-generation (5G) network), with a particular focus on the diffraction effects caused by the human body, where diffraction is one of the important wave propagation mechanisms. In this study, measurements were taken to assess the effect of the human body as it moves between the transmitter and the receiver. To predict the signal attenuation, the principles of Fresnel diffraction were utilized, particularly emphasizing complex Fresnel integrals. Our results show that the received power varies significantly based on the person’s position, as diffraction loss highly depends on the body’s location. This study enhances our understanding of how human-induced diffraction, is critical for designing more reliable wireless networks. As the findings demonstrate that the proposed model effectively predicts signal attenuation in indoor environments and emphasizes the importance of accounting for human interference when optimizing communication systems, thus supporting the effective deployment of 5G technology. 

This paper presents a comprehensive study of modelling human body blockage (the most critical challenges in fifth-generation (5G)) effects on indoor millimetre wave (mmWave) communication links at 32.5 GHz, a key frequency for 5G networks. Through controlled experiments in a laboratory environment, we analyse signal attenuation as a human subject obstructs the line-of-sight (LOS) path between transmitter and receiver, recording received power at incremental positions. To model the observed phenomena, we propose a hybrid framework integrating deterministic and statistical components: (1) a modified Double Knife-Edge Diffraction (DKED) model with Gaussian-shaped blockage attenuation (20.8 dB peak at full blockage) and reflection-induced signal enhancement (−15.0 dB peak from nearby objects), and (2) a log-normal shadowing component (σ = 11.8 dB) capturing environmental randomness. Our results reveal strong agreement between simulations and measurements, achieving a mean absolute error of 3.2 dB and a correlation coefficient R² = 0.89. The analysis demonstrates that human-induced diffraction dominates near the LOS centre, while multipath reflections significantly alter signal strength at peripheral positions. We further derive practical guidelines for 5G network design, recommending a 44.4 dB link budget safety margin to account for combined blockage and shadowing effects. This work advances indoor mmWaves channel modelling by unifying physics-based diffraction analysis with empirical reflection characterization, the framework achieves strong experimental validation and offers actionable insights for 5G network design.

This paper investigates human-induced signal attenuation in indoor mm-wave communications at 32.5 GHz, a critical concern for 5G systems. Two distinct diffraction-based models are applied to the same indoor scenario to assess human blockage effects: one employs the Double Knife-Edge Diffraction (DKED) approach, and the other uses Fresnel diffraction principles with complex Fresnel integrals. Controlled experiments with a human subject moving between a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX) reveal that the DKED model consistently underestimates the received power by 2 6 dB, while the Fresnel diffraction approach underestimates it by 2–5 dB Based on the comparative results, the DKED model demonstrates higher accuracy in predicting signal attenuation, offering valuable insights for improving indoor 5G network performance

The purpose of this study is to determine the suitability of system measurements on indoor radio wave propagation at (28–33GHz) which might be used by 5G communication.

This paper is the continuation of a research carried out by Alabish et.al, which depicts the scattering objects effects on a blocked indoor wireless 5G link by a human body using a simple approach. Some measurement were made on the scattering effects due to having an object close to the link in this case it is a human body. In this paper, more measurements were conducted at 32 GHz. The double knife-edge diffraction (DKED) model was used in order to foresee the attenuation due to human body. To test the prediction precision of the model, simulation was then compared with measurements. The obtained results indicate that the assumed simple models for the indoor links performed well.

This paper is concerned with studying the effects of human body blockage as well as surrounding objects scattering effects for an indoor 31 and 33 GHz link utilizing the Double Knife Edge Diffraction (DKED) model for diffraction effect on received signal.

This paper presents a simple approach to characterize the effects of scattering objects around indoor links at 28 GHz while the link is fully blocked by a human body. The effects of scattering objects nearby the link were studied by conducting measurements with a metallic re ector and the human body.

This paper presents some initial studies for characterizing effects of human body movements on short range indoor links at 18-22 GHz. Firstly, measurement system is described, and then, calibration measurements along with initial results of the impact of human body movement on the channel are presented for some scenarios.
