Boston5G Scenario

Boston5G scenario

An outdoor scenario constructed based on a section of downtown Boston
1 base station and around a million candidate users!
Dataset is available at operating frequency 3.5 GHz and 28GHz

Note: This scenario is based on the Boston 5G model developed by Remcom

Key components

Base stations

1 base station (BS): BS1. The height of all BSs is 15 m.
Each antenna array element at the BS is an isotropic antenna

Users

Two uniform x-y user grids (UGs): UG1 and UG2.
Total number of users = 965,090 users
The first user in every user grid is always the user with the lowest (x,y) coordinate
The height of all user grids is 2 m
Each antenna array element at each user is an isotropic antenna
First user grid (UG1)
- Distributed on the left half of the scenario (Fig. 1) with a length of 220 m and width of 300 m
- Accessed from Row 1 to Row 811 (811 rows in total)
- 595 users per row (595 users with the same y coordinate)
- 37 cm spacing between adjacent users
- Number of users in UG1 = 482,545 users
Second user grid (UG2)
- Distributed on the right half of the scenario (Fig. 1) with a length of 220 m and width of 300 m
- Accessed from Row 812 to Row 1622 (811 rows in total)
- 595 users per row (595 users with the same y coordinate)
- 37 cm spacing between adjacent users
- Number of users in UG2 = 482,545 users

Site plan

The site is constructed base on a section of downtown Boston
The ITU concrete and ITU wet earth are adopted as materials for the buildings and the terrain respectively
The ray-tracing angle spacing is 0.25° (degree)
As for the propagation model, each channel path can undergo a maximum of 4 reflections before reaching the receiver

Note

The maximum number of reflections along each propagation path is set to 4 in the ray tracing simulation.
Under this configuration, some users in the scenario do not have any propagation path with the base station.
