An analysis of the impact of Mobile Blockers","arxiv_id":"1807.04388","date":"2018-07-12","proceeding":null,"authors":["Ish Kumar Jain","Rajeev Kumar","Shivendra Panwar"],"abstract":"Millimeter Wave (mmWave) communication systems can provide high data rates,\nbut the system performance may degrade significantly due to interruptions by\nmobile blockers such as humans or vehicles. A high frequency of interruptions\nand lengthy blockage durations will degrade the quality of the user's\nexperience. A promising solution is to employ the macrodiversity of Base\nStations (BSs), where the User Equipment (UE) can handover to other available\nBSs if the current serving BS gets blocked. However, an analytical model to\nevaluate the system performance of dynamic blockage events in this setting is\nunknown. In this paper, we develop a Line of Sight (LOS) dynamic blockage model\nand evaluate the probability, duration, and frequency of blockage events\nconsidering all the links in the range of the UE which are not blocked by\nbuildings or the user's own body. For a dense urban area, we also analyze the\nimpact of non-LOS (NLOS) links on blockage events. Our results indicate that\nthe minimum density of BS required to satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS)\nrequirements of Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) applications\nis driven mainly by reliability and latency constraints, rather than coverage\nor capacity requirements.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1807.04388v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.04388v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"can-millimeter-wave-cellular-systems-provide","repo_url":"https://github.com/ishjain/mmWave","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
