- © 1967-2012 IEEE. In this paper, the intra-wagon channels at 60 and 300 GHz bands are characterized through measurement-validated ray-tracing (RT) simulations. To begin with, an in-house-developed three-dimensional RT simulator is calibrated and validated by a series of millimeter-wave and Terahertz channel measurements inside a high-speed train wagon. Then, the validated RT simulator is used to conduct extensive simulations with different transmitter (Tx) and receiver deployments. At low frequencies, the channel is strongly influenced by the line of sight (LOS), and therefore, is usually classified into LOS and non-LOS (NLOS) regions. However, the simulation results at 60 and 300 GHz bands show that the first-order reflection also imposes a significant impact on the channel characteristics. This motivates us to further classify the NLOS region into light-NLOS (L-NLOS) and deep-NLOS (D-NLOS) according to the existence of the first-order reflection. Through analyzing the area ratios of LOS, L-NLOS, and D-NLOS regions, we evaluate the Tx deployment strategies and suggest the optimum one. Based on RT simulation results, totally 12 cases (three propagation regions with two Tx deployments at two frequencies) are characterized in terms of path loss, shadow fading, root-mean-square delay spread, Rician K-factor, azimuth/elevation angular spread of arrival/departure, cross-polarization ratio, and their cross correlations. All these parameters are fed into the 3GPP-like quasi-deterministic radio channel generator (QuaDRiGa). The good agreement between QuaDRiGa and RT proves that the 13 tables provided in this paper effectively parameterize the intra-wagon scenario for the standard channel model family. These results provide valuable insights into the system design and evaluation for intra-wagon communications.

- © 2011-2012 IEEE. In this paper, we measure, simulate, and characterize the train-To-infrastructure (T2I) inside-station channel at the terahertz (THz) band for the first time. To begin with, a series of channel measurements is performed in a train test center at 304.2 GHz with 8 GHz bandwidth. Rician K-factor and root-mean-square (RMS) delay spread are extracted from the measured power-delay profile. With the aid of an in-house-developed ray-Tracing (RT) simulator, the multipath constitution is physically interpreted. This provides the first hand information of how the communicating train itself and the other train on site influence the channel. Using this measurement-validated RT simulator, we extend the measurement campaign to more realistic T2I inside-station channel through extensive simulations with various combinations of transmitter deployments and train conditions. Based on RT results, all cases of the target channel are characterized in terms of path loss, shadow fading, RMS delay spread, Rician K-factor, azimuth/elevation angular spread of arrival/departure, cross-polarization ratio, and their cross correlations. All parameters are fed into and verified by the 3GPP-like quasi-deterministic radio channel generator. This can provide the foundation for future work that aims to add the T2I inside-station scenario into the standard channel model families, and furthermore, provides a baseline for system design and evaluation of THz communications.
