Lecuture (July 3rd,2015): Channel Models for 5G Wireless Communication Systems

Title: Channel Models for 5G Wireless Communication Systems Reporter: Prof. Cheng-Xiang Wang, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK Time: 15:00-17:00, July 3rd, 2015 Venue: Room 405, Shaw Science Building, Wushan Campus All are welcome. Abstract The 5thgeneration (5G) wireless communication network is expected to achieve 1000 times of capacity and over 10 times of spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, and data rate, compared to the 4thgeneration (4G) wireless communication network. To meet these 5G requirements, some key technologies have been proposed such as massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), three-dimensional (3D) MIMO, millimetre wave (mmWave) communications, and device-to-device (D2D) communications. Realistic channel models with good accuracy-complexity tradeoff are indispensable for the design and performance evaluation of 5G wireless communication systems. This talk will address recent developments and challenges of 5G channel models for various propagation scenarios, con sidering 3D extension, time evolution and spatial consistency (non-stationarity), massive MIMO, high-speed train, mmWave bands, and vehicle-to-vehicle scenarios.
