Indoor wireless communications and applications
Chapter 3 addresses challenges in radio link and system design in indoor scenarios. Given the fact that most human activities take place in indoor environments, the need for supporting ubiquitous indoor data connectivity and location/tracking service becomes even more important than in the previous decades. Specific technical challenges addressed in this section are(i), modelling complex indoor radio channels for effective antenna deployment, (ii), potential of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) radios for supporting higher data rates, and (iii), feasible indoor localisation and tracking techniques, which are summarised in three dedicated sections of this chapter
5G 3GPP-like Channel Models for Outdoor Urban Microcellular and Macrocellular Environments
For the development of new 5G systems to operate in bands up to 100 GHz,
there is a need for accurate radio propagation models at these bands that
currently are not addressed by existing channel models developed for bands
below 6 GHz. This document presents a preliminary overview of 5G channel models
for bands up to 100 GHz. These have been derived based on extensive measurement
and ray tracing results across a multitude of frequencies from 6 GHz to 100
GHz, and this document describes an initial 3D channel model which includes: 1)
typical deployment scenarios for urban microcells (UMi) and urban macrocells
(UMa), and 2) a baseline model for incorporating path loss, shadow fading, line
of sight probability, penetration and blockage models for the typical
scenarios. Various processing methodologies such as clustering and antenna
decoupling algorithms are also presented.Comment: To be published in 2016 IEEE 83rd Vehicular Technology Conference

A Study of Differences in Calculated Capacity when Using Single-, Mixed- or Multiple-Bounce GSCM Schemes
The paper looks for differences in MIMO system capacity when using either single-, mixed-, or multiple-bounce geometry based stochastic channel models (GSCMs). The investigation considers Saleh-Valenzuela temporal indoor model, expanded for angular domain. In the model omnidirectional and idealized sector antennas were used as array elements. The single-bounce assumption, combination of single and multiple bounces, and pure random multiple bounces assumption were compared within “temporally identical” environment regarding the overall MIMO capacity. Assumption of clustered scatterers/reflectors is used in all three cases. The comparison is performed in statistical sense, using a large number of stochastically generated temporal models. The model is two- dimensional, i.e. neither elevation angle nor polarization/ depolarization was considered
A Novel Millimeter-Wave Channel Simulator and Applications for 5G Wireless Communications
This paper presents details and applications of a novel channel simulation
software named NYUSIM, which can be used to generate realistic temporal and
spatial channel responses to support realistic physical- and link-layer
simulations and design for fifth-generation (5G) cellular communications.
NYUSIM is built upon the statistical spatial channel model for broadband
millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless communication systems developed by
researchers at New York University (NYU). The simulator is applicable for a
wide range of carrier frequencies (500 MHz to 100 GHz), radio frequency (RF)
bandwidths (0 to 800 MHz), antenna beamwidths (7 to 360 degrees for azimuth and
7 to 45 degrees for elevation), and operating scenarios (urban microcell, urban
macrocell, and rural macrocell), and also incorporates multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) antenna arrays at the transmitter and receiver. This
paper also provides examples to demonstrate how to use NYUSIM for analyzing
MIMO channel conditions and spectral efficiencies, which show that NYUSIM is an
alternative and more realistic channel model compared to the 3rd Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) and other channel models for mmWave bands.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figures, in 2017 IEEE International Conference on
