Recently, the cyber-physical-system (CPS) has attracted great interest in the information and communications technology (ICT) research field for the virtual test of wireless communication systems. Since the performance of wireless communication significantly depends on the radio propagation channel characteristics, the development of accurate radio propagation simulation technology becomes essential for the purpose. This paper proposed the scenario-specific radio propagation simulation method from LiDAR point cloud data. By the continuous environment measurement by LiDAR, the positions of dynamic objects like pedestrians are tracked, as well as the site-specific propagation environment characteristics and their influences are taken into the simulation. For performance evaluation, the radio propagation measurement was conducted in the 28GHz band in an indoor office. The result showed a significant improvement in the RMSE of received power prediction. The proposed method will be utilized for the radio channel emulation in the CPS.

In order to utilize higher frequency bands above 6GHz, which is an important technical challenge in fifth generation mobile systems, radio propagation channel properties in a large variety of deployment scenarios should be thoroughly investigated. The authors' group has been involved in a fundamental research project aimed at investigating multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmission performance and propagation channel properties at microwave frequency above 10GHz from 2009 to 2013, and since then they have been conducting measurement and modeling for high frequency bands. This paper aims at providing comprehensive tutorial of a whole procedure of channel modeling; multi-dimensional channel sounding, propagation channel measurement, analysis, and modeling, by introducing the developed MIMO channel sounders at high frequency bands of 11 and 60GHz and presenting some measurement results in a microcell environment at 11GHz. Furthermore, this paper identifies challenges in radio propagation measurements, and discusses current/future channel modeling issues as future works.
