  • In an effort to compensate the rising of the data throughput demand nowadays, there have been many research works to optimize the radio resource and increase the capacity of the network. At the present, small cell network, mmWave band and beamforming technology are leading the trend and becoming the core solutions of the fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. Since the propagation characteristics of radio wave in the mmWave band is quite different from the conventional bands, the communication systems which work in these bands have to be redesigned. In this paper, a 3D simulation model is discussed for cellular network at 60 GHz in outdoor environments. Coverage analysis and system performance is carried out for a small cell system in the typical urban environment including street canyon simulation scenario. In addition, the beamforming technique is considered to evaluate the throughput improvement. Simulation results show that the mmWave small cell systems is expected to be one of the major candidate technologies to satisfy the requirements of 5G in terms of data rate.

  • In this study, we coupled a computation fluid dynamics (CFD) model to the local data assimilation and prediction system (LDAPS), a current operational numerical weather prediction model of the Korea Meteorological Administration. We investigated the characteristics of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) distributions in a building-congested district. To analyze the effects of road emission on the PM2.5 concentrations, we calculated road emissions based on the monthly, daily, and hourly emission factors and the total amount of PM2.5 emissions established from the Clean Air Policy Support System (CAPSS) of the Ministry of Environment. We validated the simulated PM2.5 concentrations against those measured at the PKNU-AQ Sensor stations. In the cases of no road emission, the LDAPS-CFD model underestimated the PM2.5 concentrations measured at the PKNU-AQ Sensor stations. The LDAPS-CFD model improved the PM2.5 concentration predictions by considering road emission. At 07 and 19 LST on 22 June 2020, the southerly wind was dominant at the target area. The PM2.5 distribution at 07 LST were similar to that at 19 LST. The simulated PM2.5 concentrations were significantly affected by the road emissions at the roadside but not significantly at the building roof. In the road-emission case, the PM2.5 concentration was high at the north (wind speeds were weak) and west roads (a long street canyon). The PM2.5 concentration was low in the east road where the building density was relatively low.
