Selected Simulators and Reasoning + +### 2.1 NYUSIM → `6g-phy` path loss / channel model + +**Simulator:** NYUSIM (NYU Wireless Channel Simulator) +**URL:** https://wireless.engineering.nyu.edu/nyusim/ +**Licence:** Free download; academic and non-commercial use + +**Why NYUSIM?** + +- The sub-THz / mmWave channel model in `6g-phy/spectrum.rs` implements + `PL(d) = FSPL(d,f) + α(f)·d` (ITU-R P.676 absorption). NYUSIM is the + de-facto reference for this exact frequency range (28–300 GHz). +- The NYU close-in (CI) path loss model is *defined* as + `PL(d) = PL(1 m) + 20·log₁₀(d)` for LOS (PLE n=2), which equals + the FSPL formula. This gives us an analytical cross-check with zero model mismatch for LOS. +- NYUSIM data is cited directly in 3GPP TR 38.901 channel model + (Table 7.4.1-1) — the same standard `6g-phy` targets. +- Published measurement campaigns at 28 GHz (Rappaport 2013), 73 GHz + (MacCartney 2015), and 140 GHz (Xing & Rappaport 2021) provide + reference values at all three sub-THz windows the PHY crate models. + +**Integration point:** `exp_010_nyusim_phy_channel` + +| Comparison | `6g-phy` function | NYUSIM reference | +|---|---|---| +| LOS path loss at 28 GHz | `fspl_db(d, 28 GHz)` | CI model: 61.4 + 20·log₁₀(d) | +| LOS path loss at 73 GHz | `fspl_db(d, 73 GHz)` | CI model: 69.7 + 20·log₁₀(d) | +| LOS path loss at 140 GHz | `fspl_db(d, 140 GHz)` | CI model: 75.4 + 20·log₁₀(d) | +| Molecular absorption extra loss | `molecular_absorption_coeff(f) × d` | Informational (NYUSIM uses measured PLE) | + +**Gap discovered:** At 73 GHz the O₂ absorption peak adds ~5 dB/100 m above +pure FSPL.

Experiment 011 extends this to **spectral efficiency** and + **throughput distribution** — the next logical validation step. +- Patriciello et al.
