THz antennas design,developments, challenges,and applications: A review

Terahertz (0.1–10 THz) wireless communication will be the future technology to reach a top-notch data rate. THz is one of the most promising candidates for 6G systems because it provides enormous bandwidth, up to 100 GHz, and a massive data rate of up to 1 Tbps. THz antennas, antenna arrays, and MIMO antenna arrays in 6G are hot research topics for implementing 6G wireless communication systems. The 6G aims to continue to enhance the features of the 5G as it is capable of achieving the maximum high-speed data rate, excellent reliable communication, massive connectivity, and very low latency connectivity. The 6G requirements need high-gain antenna arrays and MIMO antenna arrays to combat the effect of atmospheric losses in high frequencies. An in-depth discussion of the planar THz antennas that have been extensively used in THz applications like imaging, sensing, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) has been conducted. The study of the THz antennas, antenna arrays, and MIMO antennas on different conducting materials such as copper and graphene, which are designed on different dielectric substrates such as polyimide, quartz, liquid crystalline polymer, and polytetrafluoroethylene, has been carried out in detail. Metamaterial, photoconductive, plasmonic antennas, and THz beamforming are significant parts of THz communications. This paper also provides antennas and antenna arrays based on them.     

一种应用于5G毫米波通信的双极化有源相控阵模组

针对5G毫米波通信,研制了一种双极化有源相控阵天线模组。厚度为2 mm的多层PCB正面印制阵列天线,在其背面集成多通道波束成形芯片,通过中间层实现天线与芯片的互连以及供电、控制等。测试结果表明,研制的板状4×4双极化相控阵模组在E面和H面均实现了不小于±40度的波束扫描范围（不大于3 dB的电平下降）和低于-18 dB的归一化交叉极化电平,在24～27.5 GHz的频率范围内实现了V极化和H极化分别为42.6～45.7 dBm和43.5～46.1 dBm的等效全向辐射功率（EIRP）。     

基于SDN和MEC的5G VANET架构及其性能分析

为了在大规模的车载自组织网络（Vehicular Ad-hoc Network,VANET）中提供灵活的网络管理、控制和提高资源利用率,结合软件定义网络（Software Defined Network,SDN）、云无线接入网络（Cloud Radio Access Network,C-RAN）和移动边缘计算（Mobile Edge Computing,MEC）,提出了一种分层的5G VANET架构（5G MEC VANET）,能够支持智能交通系统各种功能和应用的动态特性,同时降低网络管理成本。此外,位于网络边缘的MEC框架避免了车辆与路边基站的频繁交互,减少了数据传播延时。仿真结果表明,与传统VANET和5G VANET架构相比,所提出的架构降低了传播时延,提高了网络带宽吞吐量,同时减少了控制器开销。     

Network aspects of integrating 5G and satellite communication

Since 2017, 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) is working on integration of satellite communication in 3GPP. This paper discusses the results of the work on service and network architecture aspects in 3GPP Technical Specification Group (TSG) Service and System Aspects (SA) and 3GPP TSG Core Networks and Terminals (CT). This paper does not discuss radio aspects as are specified in 3GPP TSG radio access network (RAN). 3GPP first specified requirements and use cases for satellite access. Subsequently, architecture and protocol specifications were created for integration scenarios, direct access, network selection, mobility management, and satellite backhaul with quality of service (QoS). Also, impacts of regulatory aspects on satellite integration have been discussed in 3GPP. With the completion of Release 17, 3GPP specifications are now ready for implementation of integrated 5G satellite networks. 3GPP will continue with further development of satellite integration in Release 18 and Release 19.     

4G载波向5G重耕之前的5G业务覆盖能力研究

为了满足低成本建设5G广覆盖网络的需求,需要提前研究低频3G、4G网络向5G重耕的最佳方案。在没有进行重耕,因而没有理想的低频5G测试环境的情况下,采用理论分析的手段进行重耕后的覆盖能力估算。以未来L900重耕用于5G广覆盖为例,探讨了链路预算的关键设定、模型选择等问题,并通过多个本地网实际测试数据间接验证估算结果的合理性。所得结论已实际应用于某大运营商对全国900 MHz网络的规划方案,对于指导网络重耕具有重要的借鉴意义,也为面向覆盖和感知的6G网络演进及重耕提供了参考模型。
