Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 12A Simplified Model for Characterizing the Effects of Scattering Objects and Human Body Blocking Indoor Links at 28 Ghz(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2019) Dalveren, Yaser; Alabish, Ahmed H.; Kara, AliThis paper presents a simple approach to characterize the effects of scattering objects around indoor links at 28 GHz while the link is fully blocked by a human body. The effects of scattering objects nearby the link were studied by conducting measurements with a metallic reflector and the human body. Here, the basic mechanisms of wave propagation, such as reflection and diffraction, were accounted for each scattering object. To predict the attenuation caused by the metallic reflector, a specular reflection model was employed in reflection modeling. In diffraction modeling, on the other hand, the double knife-edge diffraction (DKED) model was exploited to predict the attenuation by the human body. Simulations were then compared with measurements to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the models. Results indicate that the presented simple models work well for indoor links. Therefore, the results of this paper could be extended to model multiple human bodies near the indoor links of fifth generation (5G) systems.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9A Simple Propagation Model To Characterize the Effects of Multiple Human Bodies Blocking Indoor Short-Range Links at 28 Ghz(Mdpi, 2021) Dalveren, Yaser; Karatas, Gokhan; Derawi, Mohammad; Kara, AliThis study aims to provide a simple approach to characterize the effects of scattering by human bodies in the vicinity of a short-range indoor link at 28 GHz while the link is fully blocked by another body. In the study, a street canyon propagation characterized by a four-ray model is incorporated to consider the human bodies. For this model, the received signal is assumed to be composed of a direct component that is exposed to shadowing due to a human body blocking the link and a multipath component due to reflections from human bodies around the link. In order to predict the attenuation due to shadowing, the double knife-edge diffraction (DKED) model is employed. Moreover, to predict the attenuation due to multipath, the reflected fields from the human bodies around the link are used. The measurements are compared with the simulations in order to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the model. The acceptable results achieved in this study suggest that this simple model might work correctly for short-range indoor links at millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies.
