垂直异构网络太赫兹波传播与信道建模的整体研究
A Holistic Investigation on Terahertz Propagation and Channel Modeling Toward Vertical Heterogeneous Networks
摘要：
以用户为中心的低延迟通信不仅可以通过小型小区来实现，还可以通过无处不在的连接来实现。最近，垂直异构网络（V-HetNet）架构被提出来回程/前传大量的小小区。像管弦乐队一样，V-HetNet是不同通信合奏的复调，包括地球静止轨道（GEO）和低地球轨道（LEO）卫星（例如，CubeSats）和联网飞行平台（NFP）以及地面通信链路。在这项研究中，我们提出了太赫兹（THz）通信，使V-HetNet的元素能够和谐地发挥作用。由于THz链路提供大带宽，导致超高数据率，因此它适合于回程和前传小小区。此外，太赫兹通信可以支持从卫星间链路到体内纳米网络的众多应用。然而，为了享受这种和谐，我们需要准确的渠道模型。在本文中，通过我们的测量活动获得的见解被强调，揭示了太赫兹通信在V-HetNet中的真正潜力。
英文摘要：
User-centric and low latency communications can be enabled not only by small cells but also through ubiquitous connectivity. Recently, the vertical heterogeneous network (V-HetNet) architecture is proposed to backhaul/fronthaul a large number of small cells. Like an orchestra, the V-HetNet is a polyphony of different communication ensembles, including geostationary orbit (GEO), and low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites (e.g., CubeSats), and networked flying platforms (NFPs) along with terrestrial communication links. In this study, we propose the Terahertz (THz) communications to enable the elements of V-HetNets to function in harmony. As THz links offer a large bandwidth, leading to ultra-high data rates, it is suitable for backhauling and fronthauling small cells. Furthermore, THz communications can support numerous applications from inter-satellite links to in-vivo nanonetworks. However, to savor this harmony, we need accurate channel models. In this paper, the insights obtained through our measurement campaigns are highlighted, to reveal the true potential of THz communications in V-HetNets.
