Analysis of propagation and coverage performance of indoor single-carrier radio signals in the terahertz bands by Mugen PENG, Chuang YANG, Tianhang ZHOU

“…To tackle the problem that radio signal in the terahertz band had different features compared to that in the conventional spectrum, which restricted its application to indoor communication scenarios, a modified propagation model of terahertz radio signal was proposed.Based on the model, the propagation and coverage performances of wide-band single-carrier terahertz radio signal were analyzed.In particular, the wide-band terahertz channel transfer function was constructed, taking the absorption loss introduced by the thickness of the obstacles into account.Using the ray tracing technique, the impacts of the obstacles’ thickness and the bandwidth on the propagation and coverage performances were examined, showing that the coverage performance can be improved by leveraging the reflections from the non-line-of-sight obstacles.Moreover, the trade-off between the coverage radius and the capacity of terahertz communications is revealed, and it is further found that the theoretical spectral efficiency decreases as the carrier frequency of terahertz radio signal increases.…”

Connectivity analysis of IoV based on scale-free network by Tao HAN, Wei HE, Jun DAI, Yong ZUO, Yang YANG, Xiaohu GE

“…The connectivity of moving vehicles is one of the critical metrics in Internet of vehicles (IoV) that critically influence the performance of data transmission.Due to the high-frequency dynamic changes of the network topology of the IoV, which causes the link to be easily disconnected frequently.It is a critical issue to reduce the probability of link disconnection, and reducing the randomness of link establishment improves the overall network connectivity.To solve the above problems, the network’s connectivity was analyzed under the line of sight path loss model and the interference model, and the dynamic growth (DN) algorithm was designed through the characterization of the IoV link in the real world.Moreover, a scale-free VANET was built through the network’s addition and deletion of nodes and link preference connections.Simulation results indicate that the overall connectivity of the network is improved by 16%.…”

Analysis of 5G NR coverage capability at 2.6 GHz by Xinkai CUI, Hao LI, Xiangchuan GAO, Huan YANG

“…The current research on 5G new air interface is mainly concentrated in the middle and high frequency bands.The low frequency band re-cultivation used by 4G is of great significance for 5G-scale contiguous networking,but there are few studies.On the basis of discussing the factors affecting the radio transmission capability,the urban outdoor non-line-of-sight propagation model of 3GPP TR38.901 was selected,and the current mainstream air interface parameters were used to simulate the multi-system main physical channel propagation capability.By comparing the coverage capabilities of the same physical channels in the 4G and 5G NR bands,the 5G NR primary channel coverage capability in the 2.6 GHz band can achieve contiguous coverage on the existing 4G basis.…”
