Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a method for pervasively modeling 6G channels for all frequency bands and all scenarios, which belongs to the technical field of wireless communication.


BACKGROUND

As illustrated in FIG. 2 below, 6G wireless channels can be summarized as all spectra (sub-6 GHz/millimeter wave (mmWave)/terahertz (THz)/optical wireless frequency bands), global-coverage scenarios (space-air-ground-sea integration, including the communication channels of satellite, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), terrestrial and maritime) and full-application scenarios (such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), high-speed train (HST) channels, (ultra-)massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), industrial Internet of things (IIoT)) channels. At the same time, the 6G channels suitable for all frequency bands and all scenarios also exhibit multitudinous new channel characteristics, which brings new challenges to the 6G channel modeling.


In terms of the all spectra, due to the application of high frequency bands such as mmWave and THz, wireless channels exhibit the characteristics such as wide bandwidth, frequency non-stationarity, diffuse scattering, large path loss, blockage effects and atmosphere absorption. In the visible light communication (VLC) band, the channels will no longer have small-scale fading, and exhibit negligible Doppler effect and frequency non-stationarity. In terms of global-coverage scenarios, in addition to the terrestrial mobile communication scenario, satellite communication, UAV communication and maritime communication scenarios are also included. In the satellite communication channels, the Doppler shift caused by the rapid movement of satellites, the rain attenuation and the ionospheric effect should be taken into account. In the UAV communication system, the arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) trajectories of UAV and altitudes-dependent large-scale parameters should be mainly considered. In terms of the full-application scenarios, the V2V channels exhibit Doppler shift and time-domain non-stationary characteristics due to the multiple mobility of the transceiver and the clusters. At higher moving speeds of more than 500 km/h, the channel experiences stronger Doppler shifts and more pronounced time-domain non-stationarity. In the scenario of ultra-high speed train (UHST) running in vacuum tube, the influence of vacuum tube waveguide effect should also be considered. The ultra-massive MIMO channel exhibits spherical wavefront and spatial non-stationary characteristics. Ultra-dense scatterer distribution and multiple mobility need to be considered in IIoT channels. In addition, the precise modeling for wireless channels utilizing RIS technology also needs to be studied.


Considering that the mixed application of various new technologies will bring about the combination of different channel characteristics, an important challenge of modeling 6G channels is how the various channel characteristics be considered comprehensively and to propose a pervasive channel model suitable for all frequency bands and all scenarios. For example, when mm Wave/THz band and massive MIMO technology are applied at the same time in high-speed moving scenarios, wireless channels will exhibit spatial-time-frequency non-stationary characteristics, spatial consistency (that is, in multi-user scenarios, channel coefficients of neighborhood users are correlated or different trajectory points of a single user are spatially correlated), and multi-band correlation.


To sum up, it is urgent to establish an accurate, pervasive, and flexible 6G channel model. The problems are tried to be solved in standard 5G channel models such as B5GCM, 3GPP TR 38.901, IMT-2020 and QuaDRiGa, but all of them cannot accurately and comprehensively describe all of the above-mentioned characteristics. In terms of the all spectra, these models do not apply to the VLC band, and ignore some characteristics of the mmWave/THz band. For example, QuaDRiGa neglects to model the atmospheric absorption and blockage effects, and 3GPP TR 38.901 and IMT-2020 neglects the frequency non-stationary characteristics of high frequency bands. In terms of all coverage, these channel models are aimed at land mobile communication channels, and cannot be applied to the scenarios of satellite, UAV and maritime communication. In terms of full application, they do not support modeling for HST, UHST, RIS, and IIoT channels, and the spherical wavefront and spatial non-stationary properties of (ultra-)massive MIMO are not taken into consideration in 3GPP TR 38.901 and IMT-2020. In summary, these models still lack pervasiveness and do not take all the channel characteristics mentioned above into consideration. In order to fill the research gap, the pervasive channel modeling theory is proposed and applied to the geometric random channel model, and a modeling method for 6G pervasive channels suitable for all frequency bands and all scenarios is proposed and disclosed.


SUMMARY

When the method for pervasively modeling 6G channels is utilized in maritime communication scenarios, a LoS path component and multipath components of both a rough ocean surface and an evaporation duct over a sea surface are modeled as hqp,fcLoS(t, τ), hqp,fcNLoS1(t, τ) and hqp,fcNLoS2((t, τ) by the model, and power control factors S1 and S1 are used to manipulate a disappearance and an appearance of corresponding parts with variations of distances between two ships, that is, a NLoS part of a formula for calculating hqp,fcNLoS(t, τ) is divided into two parts: hqp,fcNLoS1(t, τ) and hqp,fcNLoS2(t, τ), and S1+S2=1; in IIoT scenarios, specular multipath components and dense multipath components are modeled as hqp,fcNLoSSC(t, τ) and hqp,fcNLoSDMC(t, τ) respectively, and modeling methods for hqp,fcNLoS1(t, τ), hqp,fcNLoS2(t, τ), hqp,fcNLoSSC(t, τ) and hqp,fcNLoSDMC(t, τ) are the same as that for hqp,fcNLoS(t, τ) merely with different parameter values and different distributions of clusters.

When the method for pervasively modeling 6G channels is utilized for VLC channels, on one hand, wavelengths of optical signals are extremely short, a size of the receiver is commonly multi-million wavelengths, with no rapid signal fading on multi-wavelengths, on another hand, due to an incoherent light emitted by an LED light in a VLC system, the optical signals has no phase information, and no rapid signal fading is caused after a superposition of real-valued multipath signals at the receiver side with an exhibition on a slow-varying shadowing, therefore although a current VLC model representation is a channel impulse response form of a multipath superposition, the representation is essentially a large-scale scale model of modeling PL and SH, that is, Hs=1, PL·SH=hpVpHLoS(t, τ)+hpVpHNLoS(t, τ)=PpVpHLoS(t)·δ(τ−τpVpHLoS(t))+PpVpH,mnNLoS(t)·δ(τ−τpVpH,mn(t)), pH, pVdenote the number of rows and the number of columns in an LED array.

In S1, propagation scenarios and conditions are set; a carrier frequency, an antenna type, a layout of the channel and a motion trajectory of the transceiver are determined.


In S2, path loss, shadowing, oxygen absorption and blockage effect loss are generated; the method mainly focuses on a modeling for a small-scale fading, and standard channel models are referable to a calculation the large scale fadings.


In S3, according to positions and motion conditions of the transceiver, large-scale parameters with spatial consistency for a delay spread (DS) and 4 angle spreads are generated.


Except SH, other corresponding large-scale parameters include a delay spread DS, an azimuth spread of arrival (ASA), an azimuth spread of departure (ASD), an elevation spread of arrival (ESA), an elevation spread of departure (ESD), a Rice factor (KR) and a cross-polarization ratio (XPR), a generation of the DS is represented as a following formula:

In S5, in order to model a space-time-frequency evolution process of the clusters more accurately, two types of sampling intervals are introduced, one type is a time domain sampling interval Δt, a frequency domain sampling interval Δf and a space domain (array domain) sampling interval Δr, and channel parameters are updated continuously, another type is described by ΔtBD, ΔfBD and ΔrBD that are integer multiples of corresponding Δt, Δf and Δr, and during the birth-death processes and the evolution processes of the clusters occurred at sampling points, survival probabilities of the transmitter side and receiver side clusters along the array axis and time axis are as follows:

Technical effects: proposed in the present disclosure is a pervasive channel modeling theory, and the theory is applied to the geometry-based stochastic channel model (GBSM). By using the cluster-based geometry-based stochastic channel modeling method and framework, and using the unified channel impulse response expression, the 6G channels characteristics for all frequency bands and all scenarios can be modeled, and a 6GPCM based on the pervasive channel modeling theory is proposed, which is basically suitable for all spectra such as sub-6 GHz, mm Wave, THz and VLC channels, full-coverage scenarios channels such as satellites, UAV and maritime communications, as well as full-application scenarios channels such as ultra-massive MIMO, IIoT, and RIS. Moreover, the 6GPCM can be simplified into a dedicated channel model of specific frequency bands and specific scenarios by adjusting the parameters. 6GPCM is extremely important for 6G channel model standardization, 6G generic theory technology research and system fusion construction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to realize the above objectives, the present disclosure proposes a pervasive channel modeling theory, and proposes a 6GPCM based on the theory. Therefore, the present disclosure mainly includes two parts: the pervasive channel model modeling theory and the 6GPCM construction.


1. The Pervasive Channel Model Modeling Theory

The pervasive channel modeling theory is utilizing a unified channel modeling method and framework, a unified channel impulse response expression, and a comprehensive consideration of the characteristics of 6G channels for all frequency bands and all scenarios, to construct a 6G pervasive channel model that is generally applicable to all frequency bands and scenarios of 6G and that can accurately reflect the channel characteristics of 6G, as illustrated in FIG. 3. At the same time, the 6G pervasive channel model can be simplified into a dedicated channel model of specific frequency bands and specific scenarios by adjusting the parameters for the channel model. Through the analysis on the 6G pervasive channel model, the complex mapping relationship between channel model parameters, channel characteristics and communication system performance can be studied. As a unified channel model framework, 6GPCM is extremely important for 6G channel model standardization, 6G generic theory technology research and system fusion construction.


2. The 6GPCM

The 6GPCM is as illustrated in FIG. 4. The antenna types in the model can be antenna array types such as uniform linear array and uniform planner array, and an arbitrary antenna polarization type is supported. Uniform linear arrays are adopted at both transmitter side and receiver side as illustrated in the schematic diagram and the model in the schematic diagram is a multi-bounce propagation model. ApT denotes the p-th array element of a transmitter antenna array, AqR denotes the q-th array element of a receiver antenna array, and the distance between the transmitter antenna array and the receiver antenna array is δT, (δR); βAT(R) denotes an azimuth angle of the transmitter (the receiver) antenna array in an xy plane, and βET(R) denotes an elevation angle of the transmitter (the receiver) antenna array; for better understanding, the n-th (n=1, 2, 3, I, Nqp(t)) propagation path from ApT to AqR is merely described herein, where CnA denotes a first-bounce cluster of the n-th path proximity to the transmitter side, CnZ denotes a last-bounce cluster proximity to the receiver side, and a propagation path between the two clusters is modeled as a virtual link. When a delay of the virtual link between the first-bounce cluster and the last-bounce cluster is zero, the model is reduced to a single-bounce model; besides, Nqp(t) is the number of paths from ApT to AqR at a time instant t corresponding to Nqp(t) cluster pairs in a double-cluster model with the first-bounce cluster and the last-bounce cluster in one-to-one correspondence with each other, and corresponding to Nqp(t) clusters in a single-cluster model; on the microscopic level, analyzing clusters CnA and CnZ on the n-th path, and Mn(t) scatterers are existed in the clusters, CmnA denotes the m-th scatterer in CnA, CmnZ denotes the m-th scatterer in CnZ; from the view point of the path, CmnA is understood as a scatterer connected by the m-th sub-path from ApT to CnA, and CmnZ is understood as a scatterer connected by the m-th sub-path from AqR to CnZ; besides, ϕA,m,nT(t) and ϕE,mnT(t) denote an azimuth departure angle and an elevation departure angle corresponding to the m-th sub-path from A1T to CnA at the time instant t, ϕA,mnT(t) and ϕE,mnR(t) are an azimuth arrival angle and an elevation arrival angle corresponding to the m-th sub-path from A1R to CnZ at the time instant t; besides, motion conditions at the transmitter side, the receiver side and a motion conditions of the clusters are modeled by the model respectively, and the three-dimensional motions of an arbitrary speed and an arbitrary trajectory of the transceiver and the clusters are supported, where νT(t), νR(t), νAn(t), νZn(t) denote motion speeds at the transmitter side, the receiver side, the first-bounce cluster and the last-bounce cluster, respectively, αAT(t), αAR(t), αAAn(t), αAZn(t) denote azimuth angles of the motor directions at the transmitter side, the receiver side, the first-bounce cluster and the last-bounce cluster, respectively, αET(t), αER(t), αEAn(t), αEZn(t) denote elevation angles of the motor direction at the transmitter side, the receiver side, the first-bounce cluster and the last-bounce cluster, respectively.

{right arrow over (d)}qp(t) denotes a vector distance between the transmitter antenna array ApT and the receiver antenna array AqR at the time instant t, c denotes a speed of light, τqp,mn(t) denotes a delay of the m-th sub-path in the n-th path from A1T to A1R at the time instant t, Pqp,mn,fc(t) denotes a power of the m-th sub-path in the n-th path from A1T to A1R at the time instant t, all of the above parameters are time-varying parameters.


It is worth noting that in maritime communication channel scenarios, the LoS path component and multipath components of both rough ocean surface and evaporation duct over the sea surface are modeled as hqp,fcLoS(t, τ), hqp,fcNLoS1(t, τ) and hqp,fcNLoS2(t, τ) by the model, and the power control factors S1 and S1 are used to manipulate the disappearance and appearance of corresponding parts with variations of distances between two ships, that is, a NLoS part of a formula for calculating hqp,fcNLoS(t, τ) is divided into two parts: hqp,fcNLoS1(t, τ) and hqp,fcNLoS2(t, τ), and S1+S2=1; in IIoT scenarios, specular multipath components and dense multipath components are modeled as hqp,fcNLoSSC(t, τ) and hqp,fcNLoSDMC(t, τ) respectively, and the modeling methods for hqp,fcNLoS1(t, τ), hqp,fcNLoS2(t, τ), hqp,fcNLoSSC(t, τ) and hqp,fcNLoSDMC(t, τ) are the same as that for hqp,fcNLoS(t, τ) merely with different parameter values and different distributions of clusters. In RIS scenarios, channels are divided into a sub-channel HTI from the transmitter side to the RIS, a sub-channel HIR from the RIS to the receiver side and a sub-channel HTR from the transmitter side to the receiver side, the three sub-channels are modeled respectively and a phase shift diagonal matrix Φ is introduced to implement an intelligent control for channel environments, calculation methods of HIR, HTI and HTR are the same as that of Hs merely with different parameter values and different distributions.


For VLC channels, on one hand, wavelengths of optical signals are extremely short, a size of the receiver is commonly multi-million wavelengths, with no rapid signal fading rapidly on multi-wavelengths, on another hand, due to an incoherent light emitted by an LED light in a VLC system, the optical signals has no phase information, and no rapid signal fading is caused after a superposition of real-valued multipath signals at the receiver side with an exhibition on a slow-varying shadowing, therefore although a current VLC model representation is a channel impulse response form of a multipath superposition, the representation is essentially a large-scale model of modeling PL and SH, that is,

The detailed steps for generating the channel coefficients are specifically as follows.


In S1, propagation scenarios and propagation conditions are set; the carrier frequency, the antenna type, the layout of the transceiver and the motion trajectory of the transceiver are determined.


In S2, the path loss, the shadowing, the oxygen absorption and the large scale fading of blockage effect are generated; the method mainly focuses on a modeling for the small-scale fading, and standard channel models for large scale fading are referable to the calculation of this part.


In S3, according to positions and motion conditions of the transceiver, large-scale parameters with spatial consistency for the DS and 4 angle spreads are generated.


Except SH, other corresponding large-scale parameters include DS, ASA, ASD, ESA, ESD, KR and XPR. The generation method of large-scale parameters is the same. The generation of the DS is taken as an example herein and represented as the following formula:

All 8 large-scale parameters are independently generated by this method, values for all large-scale parameters with spatial consistency in a logarithm domain can be obtained by multiplying a cross-correlation matrix among the large-scale parameters, subsequently values in the logarithm domain are required to be converted into a linear domain; so that the large-scale parameters of the channel are obtained.


In S4, scatterers following an ellipsoid Gaussian scattering distribution are generated, delays, angles and powers of the clusters are calculated according to geographical location information of the transceiver and the scatterers, and channel coefficients are generated.


In S401, positions of the scatterers are obtained by using an ellipsoid Gaussian scattering distribution, the scatterers in the n-th cluster centered on (dnX, ϕE,nX, ϕA,nX) follow a Gaussian distribution with standard deviations of σxX, σyX and σzX on three axes respectively; after obtaining the positions of the scatterers, the positions of the scatterers are converted into spherical coordinates; positions {right arrow over (C)}mnA(t0) and {right arrow over (C)}mnZ(t0) of the scatterers in the n-th cluster corresponding to a position of a first transmitter antenna {right arrow over (A)}1T(t0) and a position of a first receiver antenna {right arrow over (A)}1R(t0) are represented as {right arrow over (C)}mnA(t0)=(dmnT(t0), ϕA,mnT(t0), ϕE,mnT(t0)) and {right arrow over (C)}mnZ(t0)=(dmnR(t0), ϕA,mnR(t0), ϕE,mnR(t0)), where dmnX(t0), ϕA,mnX(t0) and ϕE,mnX(t0) denote a distance, an azimuth angle, and an elevation angle of the m-th sub-path of the n-th cluster at the transmitter side or the receiver side, respectively, X∈{T, R} denotes the transmitter side and the receiver side.

In S403, in (ultra-)massive MIMO scenarios, a sub-paths power Pqp,mn,fc(t) in the clusters is varied along a time axis and an array axis, and the sub-paths power is commonly modeled as a lognormal process varying with time and a lognormal process varying with the array, a non-normalized sub-paths power P′qp,mn,fc(t) in the clusters is:

in the frequency domain by taking frequency domain non-stationary characteristics into account, where γmn is a frequency-dependent constant factor, eventually, the ultimate power Pqp,mn,fc(t) of the sub-paths in the clusters is obtained by normalizing the powers of all clusters; if the clusters are newly generated, τqp,mn(t) is substituted with τqp,mn(t0) to obtain the initial power of the m-th sub-path in the n-th cluster between ApT and AqR.


In S404, for the survived clusters, small-scale parameters such as the powers and the delays of the sub-paths in the clusters at different time instants are required to be updated. For the trajectory segment at the time instant t1, that is, at the subsequent time instant after the clusters are generated, a coordinate of the p-th transmitter antenna ApT is:

The distance from ApT to the first-bounce cluster CmnA can be obtained by calculating dp,mnT(t1)=∥{right arrow over (C)}mnA(t1)−{right arrow over (A)}pT(t1)∥ at the time instant t1, similarly, the distance dq,mnR(t1) from AqZ to CmnZ is obtained. A delay of the sub-path in the clusters at the time instant t1 is τqp,mn(t1)=(dp,mnT(t1)+dq,mnR(t1))/c+{tilde over (τ)}mn; τqp,mn(t) and Pqp,mn(t) are obtained by using geographical locations of the transmitter, the receiver, and the scatterer at a previous time instant, (t=t2, t3, . . . ).


In S5, the large-scale parameters and the small-scale parameters are updated according to movements of the transceiver and birth-death processes of the clusters; and new channel coefficients are generated.


A space-time-frequency non-stationarity of the model is mainly reflected in two aspects, one is parameters of space-time-frequency variations, and another is the birth-death processes of the clusters in a space-time-frequency domain, the number of clusters at the time instant t is calculated as follows:

In order to model a space-time-frequency evolution process of the clusters more accurately, two types of sampling intervals are introduced, one type is a time domain sampling interval Δt, a frequency domain sampling interval Δf and a space domain (array domain) sampling interval Δr, and channel parameters are updated continuously, another type is described by ΔtBD, ΔfBD and ΔrBD that are integer multiples of corresponding Δt, Δf and Δr, and during the birth-death processes and the evolution processes of the clusters occurred at sampling points, survived probabilities of the transmitter side and receiver side clusters along the array axis and time axis are as follows:
