On the Modeling and Characteristics Analyze for UAV-based Millimeter Wave channels

  • 摘要: 针对传统移动信道模型不适用于无人机毫米波通信场景的问题,本文基于射线追踪原理构建了一个无人机毫米波三维几何信道模型,并提出了一种针对该模型的信道参数更新算法,该算法考虑了通信距离、信号角度、路径时延和功率等传播参数的随时间演进过程。在此基础上,针对南京航空航天大学校园传播场景,研究分析了时延分布、时延扩展、角度分布和角度扩展等信道统计特性。数值仿真结果表明,本文模型能够有效复现无人机信道的时变非平稳特性,输出信道统计特性与实测结果吻合,可用于无人机毫米波通信系统的方案设计、性能优化和评估验证等领域。

     

    Abstract: Traditional channel models cannot be used for UAV millimeter wave (mmWave) communication scenarios directly, by using the ray tracing theory, a three-dimensional (3D) geometry-based stochastic channel (GSCM) model for UAV mmWave communications is proposed. The updating algorithm of time-variant channel parameters is also developed and it considers the time evolving process of propagation parameters, i.e., communication distance, signal angles, path delay and power. Meanwhile, for the propagation scenario of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics campus, we analyzes the statistical properties of our proposed model such as time delay distribution, delay spread distribution, angle distribution and angle spread by simulation method. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model can reproduce the non-stationarity of fading channels and the simulated statistical properties agree well with the measured ones, which indicates its usefulness of the system design, performance optimization and evaluation for UAV mmWave communication systems.
