Title: Propagation Channel Models for 5G millimetre wave wireless mobile networks

Biography:

Waqas Manan has significant 5G research capabilities in wireless communication (research), software engineering and computer science. He has extensive expertise and knowledge in wireless communication (5G) and beyond which allows him to use his research potential in the emerging technology. His research focuses on propagation channel models for next generation mobile networks. The main concepts of the propagation channel behavior (Indoor and outdoor millimeter-wave channel simulations) are using ray tracing software package for simulation and then results are tested and compared against practical analysis in a real-time environment. 

Abstract:

At present, the current 4G systems provide a universal platform for broadband mobile services; however, mobile traffic is still growing at an unprecedented rate and the need for more sophisticated broadband services is pushing the limits on current standards to provide even tighter integration between wireless technologies and higher speeds. This has led to the need for a new generation of mobile communications: the so-called 5G. Although 5G systems are not expected to penetrate the market until 2020, the evolution towards 5G is widely accepted to be the logical convergence of internet services with existing mobile networking standards leading to the commonly used term “mobile internet” over heterogeneous networks, with several Gbits/s data rate and very high connectivity speeds. Therefore, to support highly increasing traffic capacity and high data rates, the next generation mobile network (5G) should extend the range of frequency spectrum for mobile communication that is yet to be identified by the ITU-R. The mm-wave spectrum is the key enabling feature of the next-generation cellular system, for which the propagation channel models need to be predicted to enhance the design guidance and the practicality of the whole design transceiver system. 

The proposed work addressed the main concepts of the propagation channel behaviour using ray tracing software package for simulation and then results were tested and compared against practical analysis in a real-time environment including indoor and outdoor for mm Wave frequency bands. The characteristics of Indoor-Indoor (LOS and NLOS), propagations channels were intensively investigated at millimetre wave (mm Wave) frequencies by proving the data rate in gigahertz/sec. The computed data achieved from the 3-D Shooting and Bouncing Ray (SBR)

Abstract:

Given the benefit of massive connectivity, improved user fairness and spectral efficiency, non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) has become a promising candidate of multiple access(MA) technology for beyond 5G networks. By exploiting the channel disparities, NOMA is capable of serving multiple users sharing same time-frequency resources by exploiting superposition coding at the transmitter as well as successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the receiver. Furthermore, with the directional transmission employed for mm Wave systems, it is highly likely that multiple users share the same spatial beam. In this scenario, the NOMA assisted transmission can be employed for MA by exploiting the power-domain, i.e. channel disparities, of the users sharing the specific beam. In the state-of-the-art NOMA systems, SIC assisted detection is employed relying on the simplifying assumption of having perfect CSI at the receiver. However, in the face of channel impairments, the SIC assisted detection degrades the performance because of the error propagation nature observed in SIC, which is highly sensitive to the CSI imperfections. Additionally, as the number of users in the cluster grows large, the co-channel interference further degrades the performance owing to both SIC complexity and error propagation. This degradation is even more pronounced if the non-linear components introduced by the hardware are considered. Owing to these reasons, it becomes crucial to employ machine learning techniques for jointly modeling the CSI impairments and SIC detector. In this talk, I discuss how machine learning can help circumvent this issue.

Abstract:

Both wireless communication networks and handheld devices have continued their rapid technical evolution, supporting a growing focus on increased end-user utility and new opportunities for compelling wireless applications in many aspects of people’ s lives. The advances in cellular network air interfaces and infrastructure has included increased data rates, spectral efficiency, and wider bandwidths, with more recent focus on the efficient support of various types of network heterogeneity. Wireless operator deployments of wide area network (W AN) macro cells are now being coordinated with planned lower power pico-cells and also allowing for the addition of unplanned but auto- configuring user-deployable indoor femto cells. These varying sized cells are optimized to achieve both high capacity and good coverage, sharing the same licensed spectrum to
meet the high bandwidth needs of users who might be very densely packed at a large sporting event, moderately clustered in an office or mall, or more geographically isolated. Over and above the heterogeneity from varying cell sizes and planned vs. unplanned licensed communications, devices on licensed networks are now also supporting a growing amount of unlicensed radio frequency communications for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other new approaches for short range links at higher frequencies. The growing mix of cell sizes and licensed and unlicensed communications link options has also renewed research
efforts on broader cross-systems optimization with new approaches to increase network power efficiency and avoid interference and cognitive radio sensing techniques to make opportunistic use of available spectrum. In addition to a growing number of available communication link options, devices such as smartphones and wireless tablets now include ever increasing processing power, display capabilities, and the integration of more physical sensors. These increasing device capabilities are opening up new avenues of research into the broader use of smart phones for a wider variety of tasks and applications. The ability of the wireless device to incorporate personal body area networks and additional sensors coupled with the device’ s processing and real-time communications capability is spawning exciting research into
new medical applications. The contextual awareness of wireless devices is also increasing based both on physical sensors and user data enabling new applications and higher utility for existing applications. The growing processing capabilities both within the device and based on the devices’ wireless access to very powerful cloud based processing has resulted in new research into algorithms focused on making productive use of the growing amount of data from sensors, users, applications, and other sources. The four presentations in this session highlight some of the recent advances and research approaches to further enhance the capability and efficiency of wireless communication systems and enable new useful applications.
