Antennas, Propagation, and Channel (APC) Research Group

Group

Our research group, "Antennas, Propagation, and Channel (APC) Research Group," is associated with the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Rail Autonomous Operation, the Key Laboratory of Railway Industry of Broadband Mobile Information Communication, and the Institute of Modern Communications, Beijing Jiaotong University, China. The group is led by me and guided by Prof. Zhangdui Zhong (IEEE Fellow) and Prof. Bo Ai (IEEE Fellow).

Expertise

• Deep understanding of propagation and channel

• Mature ray-tracing simulators flexible for various wireless communications in various realistic scenarios with various MIMO or massive MIMO arrays

• Rich experience in channel measurement, simulation, and modeling  

• Integrated Sensing and Communication 

What We are Doing

• Extensive simulations and comprehensive analysis of mmWave and THz channels based on the flexible ray-tracing simulator

• Efforts on a smart ray-tracing simulator enabling 5G/B5G, 5G-R, Rail 4.0, and 6G 

Things are Coming

• Simulations and measurements for high data rate communications enabling “smart future”, such as smart railway, smart factory, and so on 

• mmWave and THz channel models towards IEEE, 3GPP, and ITU-R standards 

Future work

• Hyper-ray-tracing simulation center enabling a smart future

• Smart environment reconstruction – multi-layer propagation environment texture reconstruction 

• Link level and system level simulation platform for proof of concept for 5G/B5G, 5G-R, Rail 4.0, and 6G
