Characteristics Analysis and Modeling of Integrated Sensing and Communication Channel for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Communications

As an important part of 6th generation (6G) communication, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication has attracted more and more attention. The UAV ISAC channel model considering the space-time evolution of joint and shared clusters is the basis of UAV ISAC system design and network evaluation. This paper introduces the UAV ISAC channel characteristics analysis and modeling method. In the UAV ISAC network, the channel consists of a communication channel and a sensing channel. A joint channel parameter is a combination of all (communication and sensing) multiple path component (MPC) parameter sets, while a shared path is the intersection of the communication path and sensing path that have some of the same MPC parameters. Based on the data collected from a ray-tracing (RT) UAV-to-ground scenario, the joint paths and shared paths of ISAC channels are clustered. Then, by introducing the occurrence and disappearance of clusters based on the birth–death (B–D) process, the space-time evolution of different clusters is described, and the influence of the addition of sensing clusters and the change in flight altitude on the B–D process is explored. Finally, the effects of the sensing cluster and flight altitude on the UAV ISAC channel characteristics, including the angle, time–varying characteristics, and sharing degree (SD), are analyzed. The related UAV ISAC channel characteristics analysis can provide reference for the future development of UAV ISAC systems.

Channel Characteristics of Hybrid Power Line Communication and Visible Light Communication Based on Distinct Optical Beam Configurations for 6G IoT Network

In the envisioned 6G internet of things (IoT), visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as one promising candidate to mitigate the frequency spectrum crisis. However, when working as the access point, VLC has to be connected with the backbone network via other wire communication solutions. Typically, power line communication (PLC) is viewed as an excellent match to VLC, which is capable of providing both a power supply and backbone network connection. Generally, the integration of PLC and VLC is taken into consideration for the above hybrid system for channel characteristics analysis. However, almost all current works focus on hybrid PLC and VLC, based on a conventional Lambertian optical beam configuration, and fail to address the applications of hybrid PLC and VLC based on distinct optical beam configurations. To address this issue, in this paper, the channel characteristics of hybrid PLC and VLC, based on distinct optical beam configurations, are explored and illustrated. Numerical results show that, for a central position of the receiver, compared with an achievable rate of about 194 Mbps for hybrid PLC and VLC with a baseline Lambertian optical beam configuration, the counterparts of a hybrid channel based on Rebel and NSPW optical beams are about 173.4 Mbps and 222.4 Mbps. Moreover, the effect of azimuth rotation is constructed and estimated for hybrid PLC and VLC, adopting a typical rotating asymmetric beam configuration.

Channel characteristics analysis of millimetre‐wave bands in Hyperloop scenarios based on ray‐tracing

AbstractA reliable train‐to‐ground wireless communication system is proposed for the foundation of the safe operation of Hyperloop. The wireless channel characteristics of Hyperloops at millimetre‐wave (mmWave) bands are analysed based on the ray‐tracing method. Considering the reflection paths and line of sight path, the channel transfer function expression is derived for each multipath and then the channel impulse response is obtained. On this basis, the investigation and analysis of the large‐scale and small‐scale channel characteristics, including the path loss, shadow fading, delay spread, and angular spread of 4 different mmWave frequency carriers, that is, 28/38/45/60 GHz, are conducted. Simulation results show that the path loss increases as the frequency increases while the time delay spread and angular spread almost keep unchanged. The relevant research results will contribute to the design of future Hyperloop wireless communication systems.

Geometry-Based Clustering Characteristics for Outdoor Measurements at 28–30 GHz

This letter presents an analysis of channel characteristics for an outdoor scenario at the frequency band of 28–30 GHz. A geometry-based clustering algorithm is proposed to group the measured multipath components (MPCs) from the interaction points on the surrounding walls or objects according to ray-tracing three-dimensional (3-D) simulations, giving results that are more physically interpretable than the traditional clustering algorithms. The cluster-level characteristics at 15 positions along a predefined route covering both line-of-sight (LoS) and non-LoS (NLoS) scenarios are investigated. Moreover, power contributions of MPCs with multiple bounces (up to seven bounces in NLoS scenario) from the interaction objects are also investigated.

Analysis of Channel Characteristics Between Satellite and Space Station in Terahertz Band Based on Ray Tracing

AbstractA time‐varying multi‐ray channel model suitable for inter‐satellite link simulation and performance evaluation is proposed aiming at the characteristics of the space communication environment. This model analyzes the propagation process and multi‐dimensional characteristics of the terahertz (THz) waves between the satellite and the space station. The receiving environment of the space station is constantly changing due to the rotation of the station's solar panels with the sun and the relative motion between the station and the satellite. To predict critical multipath events for a specific communication configuration, the method of ray tracing, which is combined with the consistent orbiting theory and geometric orbital theory, is used to analyze the channel characteristics of different inter‐satellite links at the THz band (220 GHz). The research content includes the path loss model, the multipath statistics, the small scale fading and some other related channel characteristics. The space THz multi‐dimensional time domain, space domain, and frequency domain characteristics are obtained by studying the structural characteristics of the space station and space environment, the law of position change between the space station and the satellite, and the relative motion between the satellite and the space station. The study on the characteristics of the THz time‐varying channel provides a reference for the prediction and planning of THz wave propagation in future inter‐satellite links.

Channel Defect Analysis Method of a-IGZO TFTs on Polyimide for Flexible Displays

In this paper, we introduce a method enabling faster and more innovative analysis of the channel characteristics of amorphous indium-gallium- zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) manufactured on flexible substrates through electrical property analysis. The TFTs used in the present evaluation were a-IGZO TFTs with different oxygen flow rates (OFRs), which have been reported on frequently in the past, to confirm the effectiveness of the new evaluation method. The interface characteristics of the IGZO and the insulator were confirmed by density of state (DOS) extraction using photoexcited charge collection spectroscopy (PECCS). Defects of the TFT active layer were confirmed through the capacitance-time (c-t) method. It was confirmed that the smaller the OFR, the smaller the carrier lifetime due to the presence of oxygen vacancies. In conclusion, by obtaining the same results as previously reported physical analyses, the proposed electrical channel characteristics analysis of IGZO TFTs was shown to be a reliable analysis method.

Multidimensional Channel Characteristics Analysis in High‐Speed Train Scenarios

AbstractLTE for Railways (LTE‐R) is a next‐generation communication network dedicated to railway services, enabling high‐speed, reliable, and intelligent communications to ensure safety and efficiency for rail passengers. The wireless channel between the train and the ground is a key challenge in network design and optimization. The high‐speed train (HST) and its surrounding scenarios bring nonstationarity and unique radio propagation characteristics to the HST channel. A comprehensive and in‐depth analysis of channel characteristics is the basis of channel modeling. In this paper, based on the measurement‐validation ray tracing (RT) simulator, the quasi‐stationary intervals are presented first to reasonably quantify channel statistical parameters. Next, the time‐varying multidimensional spectra of the channels in three typical HST scenarios are shown, including the power delay profile (PDP), the arrival/departure angular spectrum, and the Doppler spectrum. Moreover, the corresponding channel characteristic parameters are extracted, such as the root‐mean‐square (RMS) delay spread, angular spread, and Doppler spread. Based on multidimensional channel characteristic analysis, combined with multipath geometric parameters provided by RT, we extract significant scatterers and mine key physical factors that affect radio propagation in HST scenarios. This work lays a solid foundation for accurate time‐varying HST channel modeling.

Empirical Path‐Loss Modeling and a RF Detection Scheme for Various Drones

This paper presents a path‐loss model based on a radio‐frequency (RF) detection scheme for various drones using 5G aerial communication over an industrial, scientific, and medical radio band (ISM band) network. We considered three communication modes of the ISM band for the channel characteristics analysis: the DJI Enhanced Spread Spectrum Technology (DESST) protocol, Wi‐Fi, and Bluetooth. The drone signal detection scheme extracts the drone signal from the environment mixed with the general signal. The drone DESST signal is identified through cross‐correlation of the received signal. The Wi‐Fi and Bluetooth signals are identified with the singular‐value decomposition (SVD) algorithm by using the hopping characteristics. General and drone Wi‐Fi signals are separated by in‐phase/quadrature (I/Q) phase analysis over the measurement time. The windowed received signal strength indicator (RSSI) moving detection (WRMD) analysis identifies the drone Bluetooth signal according to the movement of the drone. The detected drone signal is channel modeled by the horizontal distance d according to the altitude θ. Finally, they verify their model by a ray‐tracing simulation similar to the real environment. The model provides a simple and accurate prediction for designing future aerial communications systems according to changes in drone movement.

Power line carrier (PLC) technology plays an increasingly important role in the realization of cost-effective communication in a smart distribution grid. No current channel modeling method is universally applicable to more complex topologies that may emerge in smart grids, such as ring and mesh topologies.

The factors that affect the channel characteristics of the networks and the laws that govern their behaviors for different types of topologies are analyzed. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are proven using simulation and laboratory tests. This paper provides the necessary theoretical basis and technical means to design the PLC modulation method for smart distribution grids.

Measurement and Analysis of Channel Characteristics in Reflective Environments at 3.6 GHz and 14.6 GHz

Recently, high frequency bands (above 6 GHz) have attracted more attention for the next generation communication systems due to the limited frequency resources below 6 GHz. To reveal the influence of frequency on propagation channels, channel characterization results at 14.6 and 3.6 GHz bands based on measurements in an indoor scenario and in a reverberation chamber are presented. The measurement results indicate minimal differences in path loss exponents, shadow fading standard deviation, root-mean-square (RMS) delay spread and coherence bandwidth for the two frequency bands, while the path loss at 14.6 GHz band is clearly larger than that at the 3.6 GHz band. Furthermore, the underlying factors that influence the channel characteristics are investigated. It is found that the RMS delay spread is independent of the frequency in the scenario where free space propagation and/or reflection are the main mechanisms. Measurements in the reverberation chamber verify this inference.
