O1 Blockage (Outdoor 1 Blockage) Scenario

O1_blockage scenario

  • An outdoor scenario of two streets and one intersection
  • One base station and more than 490k candidate users
  • One surface is added as blockage to the North of the base station
  • Two surfaces are added as reflectors to enable more non-line-of-sight paths 
  • Datasets are available at operating frequencies 3.5 GHz and 28 GHz

Key components

  • 12 base stations (BSs): BS1-BS12. The height of all BSs is 6 m.
  • Each antenna array element at each BS is an isotropic antenna
  • The main street has 12 BSs (BS1-BS12), 6 on each side.
  • The BSs on one side of the main street are separated by 52 m from the BSs on the other side.
  • 100 m separation between
    • BS1, BS3, and BS5
    • BS2, BS4, and BS6
    • BS7, BS9, and BS11
    • BS8, BS10, and BS12
  • 62 m separation between
    • BS6 and BS8
    • BS5, and BS7
  • The base station in Figures 1-3 is referred to as BS3 in the DeepMIMO generator script
  • BS3 coordinates are (235.504, 489.504, 6) m
  • One uniform x-y user grid (UG1) is distributed on the main street (the horizontal one) with a length of 550 m and width of 35 m
  • The first user in the user grid is always the user with the lowest (x,y) coordinate
  • The height of all users in the user grid is 2 m
  • Each antenna array element at each user is an isotropic antenna
  • The user grid (UG1)
    • Starts from the right on Figure 1 after 15m of the street starting point
    • Ends on the left of Figure 1 before the street ending point
    • Accessed from Row 1 to Row 2751 (2751 rows in total)
    • 181 users per row (181 users with the same y coordinate)
    • 20 cm spacing between adjacent users
    • Number of users in UG1 = 497,931 users
  • The main street (the horizontal one) is 600 m long and 40 m wide
  • the cross street (the vertical one) is 440 m long and 40 m wide
  • The two streets have buildings on both sides
  • The height of every building is written on it in Figure 1
  • Along the main street, all the buildings have bases of the same dimensions, 30 m x 60 m
  • In the second street, the buildings have bases of 60 m x 60 m
  • One blockage surface and two reflector surfaces in front of the base station (BS-3)
  • The blockage surface
    • Positioned at ~8.7m to the North of the base station (relative to Figure 1)
    • 5m height and ~24m width
    • The (x,y) coordinates of the West and East edges (relative to Figure 1) are (244.197, 578.202) and (244.197, 502.254)
    • The bottom edge is at 0.5m height and the top edge is at 5.5m height
  • The first reflector surface
    • Positioned at ~55.5m to the West of the base station (relative to Figure 1)
    • 5m height and ~8.25m length
    • The (x,y) coordinates of the North and South edges (relative to Figure 1) are (251.262, 544.990) and (243.015, 544.990)
    • The bottom edge is at 0m height and the top edge is at 5m height 
  • The second reflector surface
    • Positioned at ~48.6m to the East of the base station (relative to Figure 1)
    • 5m height and ~8.25m length
    • The (x,y) coordinates of the North and South edges (relative to Figure 1) are (250.697, 440.948) and (242.450, 440.948)
    • The bottom edge is at 0m height and the top edge is at 5m height 
  • As for the propagation model, each channel path can undergo a maximum of 8 reflections before reaching the receiver.

Note:
To access the main base station data (BS-3), please set ‘active_BS’ to 3 in MATLAB/Octave or to np.array([3]) in Python in the DeepMIMO generation parameters. The data of other BSs (1, 2, 4-12) can be also accessed for handoff applications.
