For the paper "Millimeter Wave Mobile Communications for 5G Cellular: It Will Work!"

Theodore Rappaport and the co-authors have shown that millimeter wave frequencies will support ultrawideband mobile communications in 5th-generation (5G) wireless networks. Their paper, which appeared in the May 2013 issue of IEEE Access (vol. 1,
pp. 335-349), immediately became a leading resource based on its
comprehensive review of radio propagation and mobile channel
characteristics at 28 and 38 GHz.
