Brave-beyond5g

Siradel and the BRAVE work plan

How a consortium partner contributes to channel modelling and system simulation in the project.

Section 01

Role in the project

BRAVE is a collaborative research project started in January 2018. It aims at creating new physical-layer techniques for beyond-5G wireless communications, and each partner brings a specific competence to that goal.

Scope

Work contributed by this partner focuses on propagation modelling and the simulation environments used to compare techniques.

Simulated radio environment
Section 02

Simulation tools

Simulation results are used to narrow the design space before measurement campaigns begin.

Propagation modelling

Ray-based and statistical models adapted to the frequency ranges targeted by the project.

System-level evaluation

Network-level scenarios that test PHY candidates under interference, mobility and load.

Section 03

Milestones

Main steps of the partner contribution across the project lifetime.

2018

Modelling requirements

Frequency and scenario requirements were agreed with the other work packages.

2019

Scenario library

A common set of propagation scenarios was defined for comparing waveforms.

2020

Calibration against measurements

Simulated channels were compared with measured channels from partner campaigns.

Section 04

Simulation outputs

Selected outputs produced in the modelling work.

Section 05

Feedback from the consortium

A short comment from a project colleague on the modelling work.

The shared scenario library made it possible to compare candidate waveforms on equal terms.
