| contents | This paper investigates narrow-beam channel characterization and performance evaluation for 5G for railway (5G-R) systems based on ray-tracing (RT) simulation. Three representative high-speed railway (HSR) scenarios including viaduct, cutting, and station are established, and RT-based dynamic narrow-beam channel simulations are conducted using a designed beam tracking scheme that ensures continuous alignment with the moving train. The channel characteristics are analyzed in terms of both large-scale and small-scale fading, as well as non-stationarity, providing statistical insights into path loss, shadow fading, fading severity, time-frequency-space dispersion, and stationarity interval. The influence of beamwidth on these channel properties is also examined. Furthermore, the performance of 5G-R systems operating in such narrow-beam channels is evaluated using the Vienna 5G simulator, with a focus on block error rate, throughput, and spectral efficiency. A hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform is developed to further assess synchronization signal reference signal received power, signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, and reference signal received quality. The results provide valuable guidance for the design and optimization of 5G-R systems in HSR environments. |
