Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The coverage extension to the sky, seas, and mountains is one of the important concepts of the 6th generation mobile communications (6G). High-altitude platform stations (HAPS) have attracted much attention as a leading candidate for the coverage extension. In the service link communication, system capacity can be increased by the multiuser MIMO techniques using a conventional planar array antenna with a large number of elements. However, the area covered by the planar array is limited to the circle whose radius is only tens of kilometers. This paper proposes a cylindrical massive MIMO (mMIMO) system for achieving ultra-wide coverage such as 100 km as well as high system capacity. Assuming the area radius of 100 km, simulation results show that the proposed system improves signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio by around 9~dB at the boundary of the area, and it achieves 1.3 to 1.6 times as high capacity as the conventional mMIMO with the planar array.
