Project description
Support for main pillar of 5G networks
Massive wireless access and other new applications, as well as the demand for higher rates in wireless communication systems, are making next-generation superfast 5G mobile networks an essential technology. One of the main pillars of 5G networks will be the millimetre-wave (mmWave) band. It’s a promising option that offers wide available bandwidth for 5G and future wireless networks. There’s only one drawback: real-world environmental factors, including weather, foliage, humans and vehicles, have a significant impact on channel path loss. The EU-funded mmChannel will equip a ray-tracing channel model with environmental factors in the mmWave band. Overall, it will evaluate and optimise mmWave wireless networks taking environmental factors into account.
Objective
The Millimetre-wave (mmWave) frequency band offers wide available bandwidth for 5G and future wireless networks. However, due to the large propagation attenuation of the mmWave frequency, real-world environmental factors, including weather, foliage, humans, vehicles, have a significant impact on the channel path loss. In order to design and optimise 5G and future networks, a mmWave channel model considering the environmental factors is urgently required. In this project, we aim to equip a ray-tracing channel model with environmental factors in the mmWave band. The goal will be approached through 3 work packages (WPs). First, the ER will develop a parametric attenuation model by parameterising the environmental factors and integrate it with a ray-tracing simulation model. Second, the ER will acquire the channel data for each corresponding environment factor and extract parameters using machine-learning-based methods. Third, the developed channel model will be applied to evaluate and optimise mmWave wireless networks taking environmental factors into account. This project will be an extension of the ER’s previous work, which will develop him to be a mature researcher.
