Abstract

The W-band (75-110GHz) is a band that can utilize at least 10 times more bandwidth than the existing 5G band. Therefore, it is one of the bands suitable for future mobile communication that requires high speed and low latency, such as virtual and augmented reality. However, since the wavelength is short, it has a high path loss and is very sensitive to the atmospheric environment. Therefore, in order to develop a W-band communication system in the future, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of path loss according to the channel environment. In this paper, to analyze the characteristics of the W-band path loss, the random forest technique was used, and the influence of the channel parameters according to the distance section was analyzed through the path loss data according to various channel environment parameters. As a result of the simulation, the distance has the highest influence on the path loss in the short distance, and the other channel environment factor is almost ignored. However, as the distance section became longer, the influence of distance decreased while the impact of clutter and rainfall increased.

W-대역(75-110GHz)은 기존 5G 대역에 비해 최소 10배 이상의 대역폭 활용이 가능한 대역이다. 따라서 가상 및 증강 현실과 같이 빠른 속도와 저지연이 요구되는 미래 이동통신에 적합한 대역 중 하나이다. 그러나 파장이 짧아 높은 경로손실을 가지며, 대기환경에도 매우 민감한 특성을 가진다. 따라서 향후 W-대역 통신 시스템 개발을 위해서는, 채널 환경에 따른 경로손실의 특성을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 W-대역 경로손실의 특성을 분석하기 위해 랜덤 포레스트 기법을 이용, 다양한 채널 환경 파라미터에 따른 경로손실 데이터를 통해 거리 구간에 따른 채널 파라미터의 영향성을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 근거리에서의 경로손실은 거리가 가장 높은 영향성을 가지며, 채널 환경 요소는 거의 무시된다. 그러나 거리 구간이 길어질수록 거리의 영향성이 감소하는 동시에 클러터와 강우량의 영향성이 증가하였다.
