Abstract:

The future of wireless communication is set to be more diverse and dynamic, with a wider range of scenarios and services. The emergence of satellite internet, smart railways, maritime communications, and unmanned aerial vehicles has expanded the communication demands. The wireless channel is the medium through which communication occurs and is one of the fundamental factors determining wireless communication capacity and system performance. Consequently, the evolution of wireless communication technologies also presents new challenges and demands for channel modeling. This report, based on our team’s research achievements in the field of wireless channel measurement and modeling, highlights the latest advancements and findings in three typical scenarios: massive MIMO, high-speed mobility, and millimeter-wave integrated communication and sensing. The report covers specific content such as channel measurement methods, analysis of measured results, channel modeling, and simulation methods. Finally, the report offers a perspective on the research prospects and development directions for channel modeling in future wireless systems.
