Sparsity in the Delay-Doppler Domain for Measured 60 GHz Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Channels
We report results from millimeter wave vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
channel measurements conducted on Sept. 25, 2018 in an urban street
environment, down-town Vienna, Austria. Measurements of a frequency-division
multiplexed multiple-input single-output channel have been acquired with a
time-domain channel sounder at 60 GHz with a bandwidth of 100 MHz and a
frequency resolution of 5 MHz. Two horn antennas were used on a moving
transmitter vehicle: one horn emitted a beam towards the horizon and the second
horn emitted an elevated beam at 15-degrees up-tilt. This configuration was
chosen to assess the impact of beam elevation on V2I communication channel
characteristics: propagation loss and sparsity of the local scattering function
in the delay-Doppler domain. The measurement results within urban speed limits
show high sparsity in the delay-Doppler domain.Comment: submitted to IEEE International Conference on Communication
6G Wireless Systems: Vision, Requirements, Challenges, Insights, and Opportunities
Mobile communications have been undergoing a generational change every ten
years or so. However, the time difference between the so-called "G's" is also
decreasing. While fifth-generation (5G) systems are becoming a commercial
reality, there is already significant interest in systems beyond 5G, which we
refer to as the sixth-generation (6G) of wireless systems. In contrast to the
already published papers on the topic, we take a top-down approach to 6G. We
present a holistic discussion of 6G systems beginning with lifestyle and
societal changes driving the need for next generation networks. This is
followed by a discussion into the technical requirements needed to enable 6G
applications, based on which we dissect key challenges, as well as
possibilities for practically realizable system solutions across all layers of
the Open Systems Interconnection stack. Since many of the 6G applications will
need access to an order-of-magnitude more spectrum, utilization of frequencies
between 100 GHz and 1 THz becomes of paramount importance. As such, the 6G
eco-system will feature a diverse range of frequency bands, ranging from below
6 GHz up to 1 THz. We comprehensively characterize the limitations that must be
overcome to realize working systems in these bands; and provide a unique
perspective on the physical, as well as higher layer challenges relating to the
design of next generation core networks, new modulation and coding methods,
novel multiple access techniques, antenna arrays, wave propagation,
radio-frequency transceiver design, as well as real-time signal processing. We
rigorously discuss the fundamental changes required in the core networks of the
future that serves as a major source of latency for time-sensitive
applications. While evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of key 6G
technologies, we differentiate what may be achievable over the next decade,
relative to what is possible.Comment: Accepted for Publication into the Proceedings of the IEEE; 32 pages,
