Background
• Mobile wireless backhaul supporting very high traffic volume on
new frontier bands (mmWave)
– Backhaul link : use mmWave
– Access link inside vehicle : use sub 6GHz (Wi-Fi or Small cell)

Network Deployment
• Assumptions
– Free space channel model without the consideration of shadowing• The railway are deployed in the suburban environment (80% wide suburban &
20% tunnel), where the shadowing and reflections are rarely existed.
– mRUs are deployed dedicated for the rail communications • LoS path
– Antenna radiation• Same type of antennas for mRU and mTE

Antenna Pattern and Channel Gain
• Assumptions for Analysis
– Assume the antenna radiation pattern for both Tx antenna and Rx antenna
are identical.
– Assume the radiation pattern is launched in horizontal direction, and both of
patterns are parallel to each other.
– The antenna gain is calculated by adjusting the angular.

Antenna Pattern and Channel Gain
• Discussion
– Mostly, the backward interference level is below 25dB• Due to the adoption of directional antenna
– Due to the radiation pattern, a through of wave exists before arriving at the
serving mRU.• Can be considered as the preparation point for HO
• For the head antenna, the HO is triggered in advance.

Discussions
• No soft HO– Due to high complexity & work burden for redesign the full system including
the HW
– Make it compatible to existing cellular systems (LTE)
• Assumptions– Pilot and control information are always available for measurement report
[trigger condition]
• Conclusions– Different HO procedures for head antenna & tail antenna are necessary.
• For head antenna, the HO preparation should be done before the 1st deep through, then HO is triggered at the 1st deep through even it is a little earlier.
– How can we know when to trigger?
– To avoid ping-pong effect due to early trigger HO
– DL power control should be forbidden since the wrong time of HO triggering will lead to failure.
– HO when meeting
