Terahertz wave propagation and channel characterization by Haofan YI, Ke GUAN, Danping HE, Bo AI, Zhengrong LAI, Zhangdui ZHONG

“…Firstly, the different characteristics of terahertz waves compared to lower frequency bands were summarized, including the influence of meteorological factors and rough surfaces of materials on THz waves.Next, it was proposed to use ray-tracing (RT) technology to calibrate the three-dimensional (3D) environment model and electromagnetic parameters of materials in the target scenarios through very limited channel measurement data.Then, the reversed parameters were utilized to perform in a similar but more general scenario, instead of a large amount of channel measurement data.Finally, the channel characteristics were analyzed by extraction of the channel key parameters, such as path loss, shadow fading, Rician K-factor, delay spread, angular spread, and doppler parameters in a mobile scenario.Representing two ends of 6G THz use cases from indoor scenario to outdoor scenario, case studies were made for wireless connections on a desktop and vehicular communications, respectively.As for the outdoor scenario, the influences of meteorological factors were additionally considered.The work is of great significance for the design and evaluation of the THz communication system.…”

Efficient heuristic algorithm for the mobile sink routing problem by YUAN yuan1, PENG Yu-xing1, LI Shan-shan2, TANG Wen-sheng3

“…In large-scale monitoring region,randomly deployed wireless sensor networks may not be fully connected with high probability.Using mobile sink for data collection is one of the feasible solutions.Mobile sink shortest routing prob-lem can be regarded as a special case of TSP with neighborhoods（TSPN） problem,since the neighborhoods are the radio ranges of the sensor nodes,which can be modeled as possibly overlapped disks with diverse sizes.This kind of TSPN problem has no polynomial algorithms so far.To handle it,a novel approximation algorithm was proposed,which first forms a "racetrack" by utilizing the non-intersecting loop property of TSP routes,and then through the inner lane heuris-tic,the bend heuristic and the shortcut searching,the algorithm can find an approximation solution within O（n2） computa-tion time.The formal proofs and the large-scale simulations all verify that our algorithm can achieve a good approxima-tion ratio and can be more efficient than the related algorithms.…”

LiNbO3 Coating on Concrete Surface: A New and Environmentally Friendly Route for Artificial Photosynthesis by Ranjit K. Nath, M. F. M. Zain, Abdul Amir H. Kadhum

“…In these research photoassisted solid-gas phases reduction of carbon dioxide (artificial photosynthesis) was performed using a photocatalyst, LiNbO3, coated on concrete surface under illumination of UV-visible or sunlight and showed that LiNbO3 achieved high conversion of CO2 into products despite the low levels of band-gap light available. The high reaction efficiency of LiNbO3 is explained by its strong remnant polarization (70 µC/cm2), allowing a longer lifetime of photoinduced carriers as well as an alternative reaction pathway. …”
