Propagation Channels
2. Propagation Channel Model:
• A channel model is also known as radio wave propagation
model, it characterizes radio wave propagation as a function of
frequency, distance, environment, and other factors.
• In other words, we can say that channel model provides us
rough idea how much distance a signal can travel in a certain
environment (morphology like urban, suburban or rural etc.)
with the known transmitter and receiver height.

4. Channel modeling requirements
• 5G channel models are used to simulate and
characterize the wireless communication
environment in fifth-generation (5G) networks.
• These models are essential for the design,
optimization, and evaluation of 5G systems. The
main requirements of 5G channel models are as
follows:
5. 1.Realism: The primary objective of 5G channel
models is to provide a realistic representation of
the wireless propagation environment.
• This includes considering the effects of path loss,
shadowing, and multipath fading, which are
typical phenomena in wireless communications.
• Realism ensures that the simulated results are
close to what would be experienced in real-world
scenarios.
6. 2. Accuracy: 5G channel models aim to achieve
high accuracy in predicting the behavior of the
wireless channel.
• Accurate models are crucial for ensuring that the
designed 5G systems meet the expected
performance requirements, such as data rates,
coverage, and reliability.
7. 3.Flexibility: The channel models should be flexible
enough to cover various deployment scenarios,
including urban, suburban, and rural areas.
• They should be capable of adapting to different
frequencies, bandwidths, and antenna
configurations to reflect the diverse 5G
deployment scenarios.
8. 4. Scalability: With the increasing complexity of 5G
networks, channel models need to be scalable to
support various network sizes and densities.
-Whether it's a small local network or a massive
metropolitan deployment, the models should be
able to handle the scale efficiently.
9. 5. Standardization: Standardization is vital to ensure
interoperability and compatibility among different 5G
implementations.
• Channel models are defined and standardized by
organizations like the International Telecommunication
Union (ITU) and 3rd Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP) to ensure consistency and facilitate widespread
adoption.
10. • By fulfilling these requirements, 5G channel
models play a crucial role in the design,
optimization, and standardization of 5G networks,
ultimately contributing to the efficient and reliable
performance of the next generation of wireless
communication systems.
