End-to-End Performance Analysis of Millimeter Wave Triple-Hop Backhaul Transmission Systems

Frequencies above 10 GHz nowadays may be employed either for backhaul networks of mobile communication access networks or for broadband fixed wireless access networks. Millimeter wave networks can afford large bandwidth by carrying the aggregate traffic through different network nodes. Consequently,...

Description
Summary:Frequencies above 10 GHz nowadays may be employed either for backhaul networks of mobile communication access networks or for broadband fixed wireless access networks. Millimeter wave networks can afford large bandwidth by carrying the aggregate traffic through different network nodes. Consequently, many line-of-sight multi-hop transmissions may occur. At these frequency bands, rain attenuation is the dominant fading mechanism that aggravates the outage performance of these networks. The objective of this paper is the presentation of analytical models for the calculation of the end-to-end performance analysis of a triple-hop system with non-regenerative and regenerative relays using the trivariate lognormal distribution along with a physical model for the calculation of the correlation coefficients among the rain fading channels. Moreover, an accurate rain attenuation time series synthesizer based on multi-dimensional first order Stochastic Differential eqnarrays is employed in order to validate the analytical results. Finally, extended numerical results investigate the impact of various operational and geographical parameters, as well as the influence of the arbitrary position of the relays on the outage system performance.
