Abstract

Joint communication and localization~(JCL) is envisioned to be a key feature in future millimeter-wave~(mmWave) wireless networks for context-aware applications. A map-based channel model considering both site-specific radio environment and statistical channel characteristics is essential to facilitate JCL research and to evaluate the performance of various JCL systems. To this end, this paper presents an open-source hybrid mmWave channel simulator called OmniSIM for site-specific JCL research, which uses digital map, network layout and user trajectories as inputs to predict the channel responses between users and base stations. A fast shooting-bouncing rays~(FSBR) algorithm combined with Computational Electromagnetic, has been developed to generate channel parameters relevant to JCL, considering mmWave reflection, diffusing, diffraction and scattering.
