3-D Statistical Channel Model for Millimeter-Wave Outdoor Mobile Broadband Communications
This paper presents an omnidirectional spatial and temporal 3-dimensional
statistical channel model for 28 GHz dense urban non-line of sight
environments. The channel model is developed from 28 GHz ultrawideband
propagation measurements obtained with a 400 megachips per second broadband
sliding correlator channel sounder and highly directional, steerable horn
antennas in New York City. A 3GPP-like statistical channel model that is easy
to implement in software or hardware is developed from measured power delay
profiles and a synthesized method for providing absolute propagation delays
recovered from 3-D ray-tracing, as well as measured angle of departure and
angle of arrival power spectra. The extracted statistics are used to implement
a MATLAB-based statistical simulator that generates 3-D millimeter-wave
temporal and spatial channel coefficients that reproduce realistic impulse
responses of measured urban channels. The methods and model presented here can
be used for millimeter-wave system-wide simulations, and air interface design
and capacity analyses.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, ICC 2015 (London, UK, to appear
28 GHz and 73 GHz Millimeter-Wave Indoor Propagation Measurements and Path Loss Models
This paper presents 28 GHz and 73 GHz millimeter- wave propagation
measurements performed in a typical office environment using a 400
Megachip-per-second broadband sliding correlator channel sounder and highly
directional steerable 15 dBi (30 degrees beamwidth) and 20 dBi (15 degrees
beamwidth) horn antennas. Power delay profiles were acquired for 48
transmitter-receiver location combinations over distances ranging from 3.9 m to
45.9 m with maximum transmit powers of 24 dBm and 12.3 dBm at 28 GHz and 73
GHz, respectively. Directional and omnidirectional path loss models and RMS
delay spread statistics are presented for line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight
environments for both co- and cross-polarized antenna configurations. The LOS
omnidirectional path loss exponents were 1.1 and 1.3 at 28 GHz and 73 GHz, and
2.7 and 3.2 in NLOS at 28 GHz and 73 GHz, respectively, for
vertically-polarized antennas. The mean directional RMS delay spreads were 18.4
ns and 13.3 ns, with maximum values of 193 ns and 288 ns at 28 GHz and 73 GHz,
respectively.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures, 2015 IEEE International Conference on

Investigating the effects of water vaporization on the production of gas condensate reservoirs
Well productivity is an important issue in the development of most low and mediumpermeability gas-condensate reservoirs. However, accurate forecasts of productivity can be difficult because of the need to understand and account for the complex processes that occur in the near-well region. When the well pressure falls below the dew-point, a region of high liquid saturation builds up around the well, impairing the flow of gas and reducing the well productivity. It is essential to take account of this condensate-blockage effect when calculating well productivity. Most of the pressure drop in a gas condensate well occurs close to the well walls. Because of the increase in pressure drop and the increase in flow rate, two additional phenomena get involved in gas flow control: The effect of positive coupling (due to increased capillary number) and the effect of inertia (due to non-Darcy flow). In many gas-condensate wells, the final result of these two parameters is improving well productivity, reducing the impairment caused by condensate blockage. Another phenomenon that can take place in high temperature gas reservoir is water vaporization.Pressure drop near well wall causes molar content of water in gas-phase to increase, therefore connate water starts to vaporize near the well walls. This change in connate water saturation near the well wall can influence well productivity by changing saturation of fluids near well walls. The effect of water vaporization on well productivity of gas and gas - condensate reservoirs are investigated by considering a single well one dimensional radial model simulation. The simulations show that water vaporization increases productivity of well by increasing gas saturation and relative permeability near the well walls and improving the mobility of gas; and this effect is stronger in rich gas condensate reservoir than the lean ones.Keywords: Well, Gas, Pressure Drop, Vapor pressure of wate
