Abstract
Terahertz (THz) communication and the application of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology are significant for the sixth generation (6G) communication systems. In this paper, we employ the shooting and bouncing ray (SBR) method integrated with GPU acceleration technology to model THz and massive MIMO channel. The results of ray tracing (RT) simulation in this paper, i.e., angle of departure (AoD), angle of arrival (AoA), and power delay profile (PDP) under the frequency band supported by the commercial RT software Wireless Insite (WI) are in agreement with those produced by WI. Based on the Kirchhoff scattering effect on material surfaces and atmospheric absorption loss showing at THz frequency band, the modified propagation models of Fresnel reflection coefficients and free-space attenuation are consistent with the measured results. For massive MIMO, the channel capacity and the stochastic power distribution are analyzed. The results indicate the applicability of SBR method for building deterministic models of THz and massive MIMO channels with extensive functions and acceptable accuracy.
