Preliminary Results on 3D Channel Modeling: From Theory to Standardization
Three dimensional beamforming (3D) (also elevation beamforming) is now
gaining a growing interest among researchers in wireless communication. The
reason can be attributed to its potential to enable a variety of strategies
like sector or user specific elevation beamforming and cell-splitting. Since
these techniques cannot be directly supported by current LTE releases, the 3GPP
is now working on defining the required technical specifications. In
particular, a large effort is currently made to get accurate 3D channel models
that support the elevation dimension. This step is necessary as it will
evaluate the potential of 3D and FD(Full Dimensional) beamforming techniques to
benefit from the richness of real channels. This work aims at presenting the
on-going 3GPP study item "Study on 3D-channel model for Elevation Beamforming
and FD-MIMO studies for LTE", and positioning it with respect to previous
standardization works
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

Aggregate Interference Modeling in Cognitive Radio Networks with Power and Contention Control
In this paper, we present an interference model for cognitive radio (CR)
networks employing power control, contention control or hybrid power/contention
control schemes. For the first case, a power control scheme is proposed to
govern the transmission power of a CR node. For the second one, a contention
control scheme at the media access control (MAC) layer, based on carrier sense
multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), is proposed to coordinate
the operation of CR nodes with transmission requests. The probability density
functions of the interference received at a primary receiver from a CR network
are first derived numerically for these two cases. For the hybrid case, where
power and contention controls are jointly adopted by a CR node to govern its
transmission, the interference is analyzed and compared with that of the first
two schemes by simulations. Then, the interference distributions under the
first two control schemes are fitted by log-normal distributions with greatly
reduced complexity. Moreover, the effect of a hidden primary receiver on the
interference experienced at the receiver is investigated. It is demonstrated
that both power and contention controls are effective approaches to alleviate
the interference caused by CR networks. Some in-depth analysis of the impact of
key parameters on the interference of CR networks is given via numerical
studies as well.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figures, submitted to IEEE Trans. Communications in July

On the Behavior of the Distributed Coordination Function of IEEE 802.11 with Multirate Capability under General Transmission Conditions
The aim of this paper is threefold. First, it presents a multi-dimensional
Markovian state transition model characterizing the behavior of the IEEE 802.11
protocol at the Medium Access Control layer which accounts for packet
transmission failures due to channel errors modeling both saturated and
non-saturated traffic conditions. Second, it provides a throughput analysis of
the IEEE 802.11 protocol at the data link layer in both saturated and
non-saturated traffic conditions taking into account the impact of both the
physical propagation channel and multirate transmission in Rayleigh fading
environment. The general traffic model assumed is M/M/1/K. Finally, it shows
that the behavior of the throughput in non-saturated traffic conditions is a
linear combination of two system parameters; the payload size and the packet
rates, , of each contending station. The validity interval of
the proposed model is also derived.
Simulation results closely match the theoretical derivations, confirming the
effectiveness of the proposed models.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, October
