To support the demand of the fifth generation of mobile communications system (5G) technology evaluation, the main characteristics and simulation method of the 5G channel model in the standard are introduced, comparing with the the fourth generation of mobile communications system channel model delivered by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), including scenario configuration, simulation procedure, and advanced channel components, etc. Hence, a detailed understanding of ITU 5G channel model has been made for the readers, in order to improve the further simulation and evaluation of 5G technology, as well as subsequent research and development. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-211
