Abstract
The integration of Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) technologies within fifth-generation (5G) networks represents a
pivotal advancement in telecommunications, enabling high data rates, ultra-reliable, low latency, and massive connectivity. This
study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the global research landscape on mmWave technologies for 5G
Applications, covering 986 peer-reviewed journal articles published from 2014 to 2024, sourced from the Scopus database. The
study demonstrates significant growth in yearly document distribution and annual cited publications and strong global and local
collaboration networks reflecting the increasing importance and impact of mmWave technologies in 5G networks. The analysis
identifies the contributions of leading institutions such as Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Southeast University and highlights
the influential work of prominent authors, including Wang H and Imran MA. The results also identify the most-cited papers,
such as those by Z. Ding and Y. Niu, and emphasize the dominance of journals like IEEE Access and IEEE Transactions on
Antennas and Propagation in publishing impactful research in this domain. The findings reveal a robust and evolving research
ecosystem dominated by significant contributions from China, the United States, and India through global and local
collaboration networks. Finally, the study uncovers central research themes through keyword co-occurrence analysis, with
millimeter waves, 5G mobile communication systems, and MIMO systems emerging as focal points.
Keywords - Bibliometric analysis, Millimeter-wave, Fifth-Generation (5G), MIMO.
