| Description | One of the 'Beyond 5G' standardization focuses is on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks. We developed an effective spatial framework for mmWave vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks utilizing stochastic geometry approaches. Base stations (BSs) are modeled by a Poisson point process and vehicles are distributed according to multiple type II Matern hard-core processes. To characterize the blockage process caused by vehicles, a closed-form expression is deduced to distinguish line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS transmission. This expression demonstrates that LOS links are independent of horizontal communication distances. Several closed-form probability density functions of the communication distance between a reference platoon and its serving transmitter (other platoons or BSs) are derived for analyzing the generated path loss. Our work theoretically shows that the maximum density of vehicular platoon system (VPSs) exists and large antenna scales benefit the networks' coverage performance. We extended the work to beyond 5G scenario with intelligent reflective surface (IRS) enabled wireless networks. |
| Exploitation Route | We extended this project results to THz communications and submitted a research proposal in 2020. We extended the work to beyond 5G scenario with intelligent reflective surface (IRS) enabled wireless networks and submitted a new proposal in 2021. |

| Description | Millimeter Wave communication is one of the main technologies for the capacity enhancement of 6G cellular networks. Industries are now exploring millimeter wave band of 30-300 GHz for 6G. Our findings in this project have been disseminated in numerous top IEEE journals and IEEE Flagship conferences and attracted the interest of non-academic industries. More specifically, we have developed millimeter wave enabled non-orthogonal multiple access systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system and Heterogeneous networks for next generation wireless communications. These findings will have non-academic industrial impact on millimeter wave enabled 6G cellular networks development. We have also developed a model for millimeter wave enabled Vehicle to Everything (V2X) networks. Autonomous vehicles are to be deployed in the near future, our findings are highly useful for communication and control of autonomous vehicles. Hence, our findings would be useful and make non-academic impact in automobile industries as well. These findings also led us to submit two new proposals on Tera Hertz communications for 6G and Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) enabled communications for 6G for further funding. Besides, these finding would be useful in the new area of millimeter wave enabled integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) for 6G |
