摘要:

毫米波(mmWave)通信系统需要窄波束以增加通信范围。如果主要通信方向被障碍物阻挡,则应快速识别替代且可靠的空间通信路径以保持连通性。在本文中,我们引入了一个新的度量来量化的有效多径丰富度(EMR)的定向通信信道,通过考虑的强度和空间多样性的解决路径,同时也考虑到波束宽度和阻塞特性。度量被定义为多径分量(MPC)集群的数量的加权和,其中基于具有高于某个阈值的功率的MPC之间的余弦距离来执行聚类。此过程返回给定环境中的发射器(TX)/接收器(RX)位置对的单个标量值。还可以通过考虑一组TX/RX位置,用度量的概率分布函数来表示整个环境的EMR。使用这个建议的度量,可以评估不同的通信环境的散射丰富性,以实现特定的服务质量(QoS)。该指标在更高频率下特别有用,例如毫米波和太赫兹(THz),其中传播路径损耗和穿透损耗很高,并且定向非视线(NLOS)通信对于网络的成功至关重要。我们评估建议的指标,使用我们的信道测量在28 GHz的大型室内环境中的图书馆设置LOS和NLOS的情况。

英文摘要:

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems require narrow beams to increase communication range. If the dominant communication direction is blocked by an obstacle, an alternative and reliable spatial communication path should be quickly identified to maintain connectivity. In this paper, we introduce a new metric to quantify the effective multipath richness (EMR) of a directional communication channel by considering the strength and spatial diversity of the resolved paths, while also taking into account beamwidth and blockage characteristics. The metric is defined as a weighted sum of the number of multipath component (MPC) clusters, where clustering is performed based on the cosine-distance between the MPCs that have power above a certain threshold. This process returns a single scalar value for a transmitter (TX)/receiver (RX) location pair in a given environment. It is also possible to represent the EMR of the whole environment with a probability distribution function of the metric by considering a set of TX/RX locations. Using this proposed metric, one can assess the scattering richness of different communication environments to achieve a particular quality of service (QoS). This metric is especially informative and useful at higher frequencies, such as mmWave and terahertz (THz), where the propagation path loss and penetration loss are high, and directional non-light-of-sight (NLOS) communication is critical for the success of the network. We evaluate the proposed metric using our channel measurements at 28 GHz in a large indoor environment at a library setting for LOS and NLOS scenarios.
