The demand for high data rate and exponential growth of mobile data trafficking, which creates scarcities of bandwidth under microwave frequency experienced by wireless communication has motivated to invoke millimeter-wave (mm- Wave) spectrum for future 5G broadband mobile communication networks. This survey paper review the research works on the characteristics of the mm-Waves propagation channel and highlights the main challenges, solutions, and benefits associated with the use of mm-Waves, and their performance analysis. The paper also discusses proper technical implementation strategy and economic benefits from the operator side.
