  In this paper, we obtain and study typical beam entropy values for millimetre
wave (mm-wave) channel models using the NYUSIM simulator for frequencies up to
100 GHz for fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G cellular communication systems.
The beam entropy is used to quantify sparse MIMO channel randomness in
beamspace. Lower relative beam entropy channels are suitable for
memory-assisted statistically-ranked (MarS) and hybrid radio frequency (RF)
beam training algorithms. High beam entropies can potentially be advantageous
for low overhead secured radio communications by generating cryptographic keys
based on channel randomness in beamspace, especially for sparse multiple input
multiple output (MIMO) channels. Urban micro (UMi), urban macro (UMa) and rural
macro (RMa) cellular scenarios have been investigated in this work for 28, 60,
73 and 100 GHz.
