Context of the studies<\/h4>\n<p><strong>At <\/strong><strong>the beginning<\/strong> of the project, one of the 5G challenges <strong>was the use of <\/strong>new high frequencies with large bandwidths. The use of millimeter waves (mmWave) was expected for indoor but also, and it was new, for outdoor transmissions in the context of small cell deployment. Since the beginning of the project, the\u00a026GHz and 72 GHz bands have been defined.<\/p>\n<p>Another challenge of 5G was the improvement of the spectral efficiency by the increase of the number of antennas at the access point or at the Base Station level with the use of massive MIMO systems.<\/p>\n<h5>1.1.\u00a0 Why studying hybrid massive MIMO for mmWave transmissions?<\/h5>\n<p>In the one hand, severe path losses of the propagation channel at high frequencies can be compensated by the gain that can provide a great number of antennas. On the other hand, the smaller the wavelength, the smaller the physical dimension of a larger antenna array making possible the realization of massive MIMO systems. In addition, in theoretical massive MIMO studies, it is commonly assumed that all treatments are digital, requiring as many RF chains as transmit antennas. Nevertheless, increasing the number of antenna RF chains at high frequencies lead to a lot of problems such as the complexity in terms of algorithms and HW integration, the system consumption, calibration\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Hybrid beamforming, with digital and\/or analogue beamformings, applied to systems where the number of RF chains is less than the number of antenna can be a solution to some of the implementation problems.<\/p>\n<h5>1.2.\u00a0 Identified challenges were for M<sup>5<\/sup>EHSTIA<\/h5>\n<p><strong>a) <\/strong><strong>Improve the link budget<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The high path losses in <strong>millimetre waves<\/strong> impose to use directive antenna with very high gains to ensure a sufficient SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Channel sounding antennas and transmission antennas have to be designed<\/li>\n<li>HW implementation is very critical: calibration, interference, integration losses\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>b) Increase of the number of\u00a0antennas in hybrid MIMO system<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Less number of RF chains, several antennas linked to one RF chain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Optimisation: trade-off between the number of antennas and the number of RF chains\u00a0 and of digital and analogue treatments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>c) Channel measurements and channel modelling <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Need of channel models for theoretical studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Development of a deterministic channel simulator well suited for 5G mmW scenarios<\/li>\n<li>Blockage effect, Los dominant channels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Need of new channel sounders for massive MIMO\n<ul>\n<li>In both elevation and azimuth, for both indoor and outdoor communications<\/li>\n<li>Exploitation of indoor and outdoor data from Aalto University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Need of tracking position and orientation algorithm studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>d) <strong>Develop\u00a0 proof of concept<\/strong> by designing one <strong>HW platform<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To implement new enablers<\/li>\n<li>To integrate new services<\/li>\n<li>To validate the use of new frequencies<\/li>\n<li>To make experiments and demonstration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>1.3.\u00a0\u00a0 Organization of the M5HESTIA project in 5 work-packages<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>WP1: Project Managment and Dissemination<\/li>\n<li>WP2: Antenna Design and RF architectures<\/li>\n<li>WP3: Propagation and Channel Modelling<\/li>\n<li>WP4: Baseband Signal Processing<\/li>\n<li>WP5: Baseband Implementation &amp; Platform Integration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>2.
