Path Loss Modeling for RIS-Assisted Wireless Communication in Tunnel Scenarios.

Aiming to address the problem of limited transmission distance in applying reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology, this study leverages a tunnel simulation platform to investigate RIS-assisted wireless communication systems. Through theoretical derivation, we propose a path loss model formula specifically applicable to tunnel scenarios. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model accurately reflects the communication performance characteristics of RIS in tunnel scenarios, verifying the capability of RIS technology to enhance signal transmission distance within tunnels in rail transit engineering applications.

Unconventional magnetic oscillations in a kagome Mott insulator.

In metals, electrons in a magnetic field undergo cyclotron motion, leading to oscillations in physical properties called quantum oscillations. This phenomenon has never been seen in a robust insulator because there are no mobile electrons. We report an exception to this rule.

RAP1 is essential for PRRSV replication and the synthesis of the viral genome.

Since its emergence, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has caused enormous economic losses to the global swine industry. The pathogenesis of PRRS remains under investigation. The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes reproductive disorders in pigs and respiratory in piglets, which is a 15 kb RNA virus that encodes 16 viral proteins, most of which exhibit multiple functions during the virus lifecycle.

Large oscillatory thermal hall effect in kagome metals.

The thermal Hall effect recently provided intriguing probes to the ground state of exotic quantum matters. These observations of transverse thermal Hall signals lead to the debate on the fermionic versus bosonic origins of these phenomena. The recent report of quantum oscillations (QOs) in Kitaev spin liquid points to a possible resolution.

Channel Model and Performance Analysis for MIMO Systems with Single Leaky Coaxial Cable in Tunnel Scenarios.

Due to the limited space in the tunnel environment, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with double-port fed leaky coaxial cables (LCXs) can not only reduce the number of LCXs, but also improve the channel capacity. Based on the geometry based on single bonce (GBSB) and electromagnetic field radiation theory of LCX, a MIMO channel model with double-port fed LCX in a tunnel scenario is proposed in this paper. The channel impulse response (CIR) is derived, and verified with measurement results in terms of channel capacity.

Sensitive magnetometry has been a powerful probe for investigating quantum materials. Extreme conditions, such as sub-kelvin cryogenic temperatures and ultrahigh magnetic fields, demand further durability for sensitive magnetometry. However, significant mechanical vibrations and rapid magnetic field changes give enormous challenges to conventional magnetometry.

An important and typical scenario of radio propagation in a railway or subway tunnel environment is the cascaded straight and curved tunnel. In this paper, we propose a joint path loss model for cascaded tunnels at 3.5 GHz and 5.

Doppler Modeling and Simulation of Train-to-Train Communication in Metro Tunnel Environment.

The communication system of urban rail transit is gradually changing from train-to-ground (T2G) to train-to-train (T2T) communication. The subway can travel at speeds of up to 200 km/h in the tunnel environment, and communication between trains can be conducted via millimeter waves with minimum latency. A precise channel model is required to test the reliability of T2T communication over a non-line-of-sight (NLoS) Doppler channel in a tunnel scenario.

Analysis of LTE-M Adjacent Channel Interference in Rail Transit.

Long Term Evolution-Metro (LTE-M), as a special communication system for train control, has strict requirements on adjacent channel interference (ACI). According to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) protocol of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards, this paper presents the required isolation degree for LTE-M systems to resist ACI. Aiming at the scenario of leaky cable transmission and antenna transmission adopted by the underground LTE-M system of the subway, the isolation degree required for LTE-M system deployment is deduced by combining the channel description with the principle of ACI.

Design and Analysis of High-Capacity MIMO System in Line-of-Sight Communication.

The phase of the channel matrix elements has a significant impact on channel capacity in a mobile multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system, notably in line-of-sight (LoS) communication. In this paper, the general expression for the phase of the channel matrix at maximum channel capacity is determined. Moreover, the optimal antenna configuration of the 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 transceiver antenna array is realized for LoS communication, providing methods for n×n optimal antenna placement, which can be used in short-range LoS communication and non-scattering environment communication, such as coupling train communication and inter-satellite communication.
