Simulating the performance of 6G networks in urban and rural scenarios by using NYUSIM 4.0

Abstract

NYUSIM 4.0 is an advanced wireless channel simulator that models the behavior of radio waves in diverse environments, including urban and rural scenarios. This study explores the influence of factors such as buildings, vegetation, and human obstructions on the propagation of wireless signals. It analyzes how these factors affect the quality of service during signal propagation to better understand the performance of 6G networks in these environments. Simulations in NYUSIM 4.0 for Urban Microcell (UMi) and Rural Macro (RMa) scenarios provide essential insights for optimizing 6G networks. Simulation parameters include indices specific to channel parameters, antenna properties, spatial consistency parameters, and human obstructions. Directional power delay profile graphs highlight the variability of signal strength over time and distance, reflecting the complexity of signal path interactions. In the RMa scenario, intended for rural areas, the parameters include a frequency of 150 GHz, a base station height of 35 meters, and distances ranging from 10 to 1000 meters. The 3D graph of directional power versus delay illustrates power variability over time and distance, providing a visual representation of these performance metrics. The findings emphasize the impact of signal path diversity in urban and rural scenarios for 6G networks, highlighting the importance of parameters such as frequency and distance on communication system performance. This is crucial for ensuring optimal performance. The study provides a solid foundation for optimizing 6G networks through detailed modeling of different propagation scenarios.
