Spatial characteristics and capacity investigation of indoor hotspot channel based on wideband MIMO measurement at 4.9 GHz

In this article,results obtained from wideband multiple-input multiple-output channel measurements at 4.9 GHz are presented.Measurements were performed in an indoor hotspot scenario with both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight propagation conditions.Vertical polarized uniform linear arrays(ULAs)with different antenna spacing and orientation were utilized for investigating the impact of antenna configurations on the system performance.Based on measured channel impulse responses,the spatial correlation of ULA is analyzed and compared with the theoretical values calculated from the power azimuth spectrum.Following that,the eigenvalue statistics and capacity with respect to antenna spacing and orientation are given and compared.The diversity-multiplexing tradeoff(DMT)of measured channels at operational signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)is also presented.The reason why the DMT of measured channels is much lower than that of i.i.d.Rayleigh channels is specified.

Path loss and delay spread for the stairwell channel at 5 GHz

Measured channel characterization results are provided for six stairwells in the 5‐GHz band, for two distinct stairwell types and two antenna polarizations. The stairwell channel is of interest for several applications, including Wi‐Fi and public safety. Although other authors have reported stairwell path loss for other frequency bands (900 MHz, 2.4, 5.8 GHz), to our knowledge, ours is the first work at 5 GHz. More significantly, we report on floor attenuation factors and delay spread, which prior work has not thoroughly addressed. We measured power delay profiles and from these estimated propagation path loss and root‐mean square delay spread (RMS‐DS). Path loss exponents were between 5.5 and 8.3, and vertically polarized monopoles yield larger path loss and path loss exponents than horizontal polarization. Mean RMS‐DS values ranged from 15 to 57 ns for link distances covering up to three flights of stairs. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于测量的6 GHz频段大规模多天线信道容量的研究

目前,大多数大规模多入多出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)系统信道特性的研究都是针对理想的独立同分布瑞利信道条件,其传播环境为"适宜的",即大规模MIMO系统中各子信道是正交的.但在实际的物理信道中,其传播条件是"非适宜的",对"非适宜"条件下大规模MIMO系统信道特性的研究尤为重要.文章基于校园室外场景在6 GHz频段下进行实地无线信道测量,利用奇异值分解,探讨了真实环境中各子信道的正交性,并进行了信道容量的计算和对比.分析结果表明,随着天线数的增加,正交性明显得到提升,当发射端天线数十倍于接收天线数时,容量值提升最为明显,相比于独立同分布的瑞利信道,真实的传播环境下,各子信道并非完全正交,容量值也存在一定的差距,说明在"非适宜"条件下,大规模多天线系统性能并没有获得满增益.

A cluster-based analysis of propagation characteristics in MIMO relay channels based on wideband measurement

In this paper,the characteristics of clusters induced by a variety of propagation mechanisms in the link from the relay station(RS) to the mobile station(MS) are presented.Based on the results of high resolution channel parameter estimation,an automatic framework integrated with the manual intervention is utilized to perform the cluster identification and tracking.The power proportion and angular spread of clusters are investigated in both the line-of-sight(LOS) and non-line-of-sight(NLOS) scenarios.The measurement results indicate that the channel characteristics of clusters are different from the link from the base station to the MS due to the lower height of the RS antennas.

Transmit scheme to improve coverage in simulcast system based on wideband channel measurement in indoor at 6 GHz

Array gain would be well exploited to improve power coverage if some powerful multipath components from different radio links can coherently combine at the receiver (Rx). Thus, in this paper, an algorithm is proposed for transmission in simulcast system, where partial channel state information (CSI) is needed. Based on measured multipath channel, performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated. According to simulation results, the proposed algorithm outperforms the direction summation (DS) scheme and multipath antenna diversity (MAD) algorithm, with 2~4 dB advantage over the latters. Especially in line of sight (LOS) scenario, the advantage is more obvious. Besides, the proposed algorithm brings more gain with increasing number of transmit antennas without additional power. Finally, robustness of the proposed algorithm is examined with imperfect CSI.

Comparative indoor RF channel soundings at 2, 5 & 17 GHz

There is a relatively large selection of results for indoor channel soundings at frequencies around 1 to 2 GHz but relatively few at the HIPERLAN frequencies of 5 and 17 GHz. This work provides some results taken at all three frequencies in order to redress this deficiency and also to compare results at these frequencies. A 20 GHz network analyser was used to perform the soundings. The analyser was capable of performing the Chirp Z transform to convert complex frequency response data to the time domain. Soundings were made in the Agency's office headquarters at Waterloo London and in their investigation facility at Whyteleafe. These two locations provided some diversity of sounding environments involving small offices, meeting rooms and large laboratories. Both buildings were of a 1930's style brick construction with some modern plaster board internal walls. Decay exponents and delay spreads are given for the test frequencies. Results show similar delay spreads at all frequencies.
