The use of above-100 GHz radio frequencies would be one of promising approaches to enhance the fifth-generation cellular further. Any air interface and cellular network designs require channel models, for which measured evidence of largescale parameters such as pathloss, delay and angular spreads, is crucial. This paper provides the evidence from quasi-static spatiotemporal channel sounding campaigns at two indoor hotspot (InH) scenarios at 140 GHz band, assuming short-range backhaul connectivity. The measured two InH sites are shopping mall and airport check-in hall. Our estimated omni-directional large-scale parameters from the measurements are found in good match with those of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) for new radios (NR) channel model in InH scenario, despite the difference of assumed link types and radio frequency range. The 3GPP NR channel model is meant for access links and said to be valid up to 100 GHz, while our measurements cover shortrange backhaul scenarios at 140 GHz. We found more deviation between our estimated large-scale parameters and those of the 3GPP NR channel model in the airport than in the shopping mall.

The communications between two driving vehicles along a narrow street may be limited by the presence of a third vehicle blocking the transmission. In this work, we investigate radio wave propagation at 28 GHz in an urban street canyon scenario by conducting channel measurements, where the vehicle(s) occlude(s) the line-of-sight path. We quantify the impact of the car blockage and study the alternative propagation paths, which can be used for establishing a data link. Based on the obtained results, we report that besides the low-loss (3.4 dB) reflection from the wall, a radio link through the blocking car may potentially be established for data sharing. Specifically, the attenuation through clear windows is 2 dB, while the attenuation caused by protective sun film is 15 dB. Diffraction over the car and propagation in foliage reduce the multipath power crucially by 21-24 dB and 16-19 dB, respectively, and cannot be associated with reliable links. Finally, measurement results were compared with the ray-based simulation data, which demonstrates agreement to within +/- 4.3 dB of measured losses.

Accurate site-specific radio propagation simulations provide an important basis for cellular coverage analysis. The quality of these simulations relies on the accuracy of environmental description and electrical properties of constituent materials. This paper presents a novel method of on-site permittivity estimation. The method utilizes an accurate geometrical database of the environment for identifying flat and smooth surfaces producing reflections. The method exploits a limited number of on-site channel sounding to extract reflected multipaths, and compare them with ray-tracing based on the environmental database. The permittivity of the identified reflecting surfaces is estimated by solving an inverse reflection problem. The method was experimentally tested with a limited radio channel measurements at 60 GHz in a large empty office room. The identified reflecting surfaces are classified according to their mean permittivity estimates, showing their consistency with physical material evidence and the permittivity database in the ITU recommendation. The estimated permittivity values are visualized as a three-dimensional map, giving an intuitive understanding of materials constituting the environment. Our work demonstrates on-site permittivity estimation and material classification without the need for isolated measurements of composite materials in an anechoic chamber or in-situ measurements of built environments.

... A comparison between the 28 GHz and 140 GHz channel models for a shopping mall environment confirms the fewer multipath components at 140 GHz, but the strongest paths show a high correlation [19]. Outdoor measurements at 142 GHz, with a distance of 15 m between the antennas, show excess losses ranging from 15 dB to 30 dB for reflected paths in a street canyon [20]. ...

... The penetration loss of objects was found to increase with increase in frequency. The reflection and penetration loss of drywall and glass obtained from ray tracer calibrations at 28 and 142 GHz agrees well with the channel measurements conducted in [65]. Lower foliage loss was observed at 142 GHz compared to 73 GHz, possibly because the 142 GHz outdoor measurements were conducted in the fall of 2021, when the trees had fewer leaves, while the 73 GHz outdoor measurements were conducted in the summer of 2016. ...

... Several measurement campaigns have been undertaken to explore the propagation characteristics and establish a channel model [8] [9]. Numerous sub-THz channel measurements have been conducted across a wide range of indoor hotspot scenarios (InH), encompassing train-to-infrastructure [10], vehicular communications [11], shopping malls, airport check-in halls [12], data centers [13], motherboards [14], aircraft cabins [15], factory buildings [16], lecture rooms [17], meeting rooms [18] [19], office rooms [19], corridors [20], and indoor short-range scenarios [21] [24]. ...

... Such a correlation does not necessarily exist in other settings. For example, [45] reported the frequency correlation of approximately 0.4 between 4 GHz and 28 GHz in an outdoor environment; similarly, [46] revealed that the correlation between 980 MHz and 2400 MHz was 0.4 in the curved subway tunnels. Our proposed method utilizes the frequency correlation and thus may not be able to perform an accurate radio map construction in such a situation. ...

... Considering the foreseen massive number of IoT devices, UAVs are an attractive solution for energy efficiency and QoS improvements due to the enhanced coverage resulting from their high mobility and ability to hover as discussed in [13]. In fact, it is challenging to obtain Line of Sight (LOS) using terrestrial BSs in urban canyon environments [14], [15], and it is hard to envision smart cities without the assistance of UAVs [13], [16]. Furthermore, by equipping the UAVs with reconfigurable antennas [17], more degrees of freedom could be attained since it is possible to adjust the beam footprint of the UAV by means of electrical, optical, mechanical, and material change techniques to boost even more the coverage with QoS guarantees 2 . ...

... 2) The horizontal polarized omnidirectional antenna operated in mm-Wave bands are much more difficult to design [26] and even unavailable commercially. This is a current bottleneck for validating channel polarimetric profiles for multiple-input-multipleoutput (MIMO) over-the-air (OTA) studies in frequency range (FR2) [27], since both vertical and horizontal polarization measurements are required for channel polarimetric profile analysis [28]. 3) Omnidirectional antennas have low antenna gain which provides poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and constrains the measurement range, which is a major problem for high frequency bands. ...

... A method proposed in [15] performs rough and quick angle estimation at a lower frequency and reuses the estimated spatial profiles for precious beam operation at high frequency, considering the high similarity of spatial profiles between low and high frequency bands. In [20], channel sounding results reported in mmMAGIC project, covering different propagation scenarios and different frequency bands in 2 to 86 GHz [21], were summarized with the focus on the statistical analysis of delay dispersion parameters. Though multi-band channel similarity can be directly observed, there is a lack of metrics to characterize the degree of it. ...

... In addition to experiencing losses, the signal's polarization may be impacted by the different signal propagation paths within the channel, and the transmitted energy may appear with the Rx-orthogonal antenna orientation [79,80]. When the Tx and Rx antennas are co-polarized, the power received ratio (measured in dB) can identify the propagation feature as cross-polarization discrimination (XPD). ...

... In general, two methods are used to measure the penetration loss (PL) of a material: anechoic chamber measurements [4], [9], [11] and on-site measurements [3], [7], [12]. Usually, in a nonreflection chamber, the effects of reflections on measurements can be eliminated, allowing more accurate measurements. ...
