Modeling and Characterization of the Uplink and Downlink Exposure in Wireless Networks

       Abstract:This paper deals with a new methodology to assess the exposure induced by both uplink and downlink of a cellular network using 3D electromagnetic simulations. It aims to analyze together the exposure induced by a personal device (uplink exposure) and that induced by a base station (downlink exposure). The study involved the major parameters contributing to variability and uncertainty in exposure assessment, such as the user’s posture, the type of wireless device, and the propagation environment. Our approach is relying basically on the modeling of the power radiated by the personal device and the ambient electric field, while taking into account the effects of human body shadowing and the propagation channel fluctuations. The exposure assessment as well as the human-wave interactions has been simulated using the finite difference in time domain method (FDTD). In uplink scenarios, four FDTD simulations were performed with a child model, used in two postures (sitting and standing) and in two usage scenarios (voice and data), which aimed to examine the exposure induced by a mobile phone and a tablet emitting, respectively, at 900 MHz and 1940 MHz. In the downlink scenario, a series of FDTD simulations of an exposure to a single plane wave and multiplane waves have been conducted, and an efficient metamodeling of the exposure using the Polynomial Chaos approach has been developed.
1. Introduction
      The rapid developments in wireless network technology have strengthened the presence of electromagnetic waves in our everyday lives. Hence, the exposure to near and far electromagnetic fields is becoming increasingly a matter of public concern. The exposure is determined by the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) (W/Kg), which quantifies the power absorbed by human tissues from electromagnetic radiations. Several studies have been conducted to characterize, on one hand, the exposure induced by the base stations (downlink exposure) [1] and, on the other hand, that induced by wireless devices (uplink exposure) [2]. In most of these studies, both types of exposure were studied separately. However, in the context of wireless networks that are now so widely present in everyone’s environment, a reliable characterization of exposure requires taking into account both uplink and downlink radio waves. Basically, for a given duplex communication, these waves are not independent and involve a power management protocol [3]. The downlink radiation is mainly impacted by the propagation environment, particularly through the attenuation suffered by the signal wave before arriving at the receiver [4]. In the other side, other than the propagation environment, the uplink radiation is dependent on the user’s activity, on the network (e.g., the rate and the QoS), and fundamentally on the performance of the device’s antenna [5]. Actually, the wireless devices are often placed in the proximity of the user’s body, which is a conducting system. Accordingly, a strong coupling effect takes place between the human tissues and the antenna [6]. These interactions can affect severely the antenna radiation properties, which are strongly involved in adjusting the uplink power [7]. The purpose of this paper is to discuss a numerical approach to characterize the variability associated with both links radiations as well as the resulting exposure, using electromagnetic simulations and statistical analysis.
        Compared to previous research [8, 9], this work involves the use of an anatomic child model under various postures, including standing and sitting position. Furthermore, it aims at introducing a methodology for characterizing the uplink power fluctuations as a function of shadowing effects caused by the human body and the multipath fading. In the downlink, this study deals with a metamodeling approach allowing prediction analytically of the exposure induced by a complex propagation environment.
       In fact, a FDTD simulation incorporating a human body with a resolution of 1-2 mm is very expensive in time calculation and resources, which often impedes the study of a large number of exposure configurations. Our proposed method consists of extracting an input-output transfer function, linking the exposure induced by multiple plane waves to the parameters contributing in the variability of their total electric field, using a regression metamodel approach in the postprocessing of a finite subset of FDTD simulations.
       his study is a part of an European project called LEXNET [10], supported by the European Commission under the FP7, was established to minimize the exposure induced by wireless systems. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. The second section presents the methodology used in the modeling of the uplink power and the electric field received from a fixed base station. The third section illustrates the materials used to prepare the simulations. Section 4 is reserved to discuss the results as well as the statistical analysis of the uplink exposure variability. Section 5 focuses on the investigation of the exposure to single and multiple plane waves. In this section, we discuss the use of Polynomial Chaos (PC) [11] approach in the metamodeling of the multipath exposure. In the last section, we apply the proposed results to realistic traffic measurements. A global conclusion is drawn in the end of the paper.
