Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). An apparatus and method are provided for analyzing propagation characteristics in a wireless communication system. The method includes analyzing a first propagation characteristic relating to a first antenna element; and determining a second propagation characteristic relating to a second antenna element, based on the first propagation characteristic.
Claims12
A method for analyzing propagation characteristics, the method comprising:
- analyzing a first propagation characteristic relating to a reference antenna element;
- identifying a group including the reference antenna element, wherein one or more second antenna elements included in the group is determined based on a similarity of a propagation characteristic corresponding to each of the one or more second antenna elements;
- applying the first propagation characteristic to the one or more second antenna elements;
- compensating the first propagation characteristic based on signal reflection caused by at least one obstacle, signal penetration with respect to the at least one obstacle, and signal diffraction caused by the at least one obstacle, wherein the first propagation characteristic comprises a movement path of a signal included in the first propagation characteristic, a contact point of the signal with the at least one obstacle, and an attenuation amount of the signal, which is caused by the at least one obstacle;
- and
- determining a second propagation characteristic based on the compensation of the first propagation characteristic to correspond to the one or more second antenna elements.
A device for analyzing propagation characteristics, the device comprising:
- a storage unit;
- and
- a processor configured to:
