Phase modeling of indoor radio propagation channels

Abstract

Abstract-Two models for generating phase of individual multipath components in an indoor environment, partly developed in [1], have been studied in detail. In the deterministic phase increment model (model I), phase of each multipath component is updated deterministically using several independent random scatterers. In the random phase increment model (model II), phase of each multipath component is updated by adding independent random phase increments. Performance of these models has been evaluated by means of extensive computer simulations. Statistical properties of narrow-band CW fading signals obtained using each phase model have been compared with the corresponding results for a large empirical wide-band database of 12 000 impulse response estimates of indoor radio propagation channels. A major conclusion is that model I (with five scatterers for each multipath component) and model II (with proper choice for phase increments) provide fading results consistent with those obtained from measurements.In this paper, properties of each phase model are described, and an algorithm for generating each is presented. First-and second-order statistics [amplitude distributions, level crossing rates (LCR's), and average duration of fades (ADF's)] andDoppler spectra of narrow-band CW fading waveforms obtained using simulated phases are reported, and detailed comparison between the simulated and empirical results is carried out. Furthermore, the two models are also compared with each other, and advantages and disadvantages of each are explored. The effect of increasing the number of scatterers and statistical properties of phase increments in model I are studied, simulated, and compared with model II. A major conclusion is that for an appropriate choice of parameters, both models provide satisfactory performance. Computation time of model I is, however, on the average 1.7 times of model II, making it less efficient for generating a large number of impulse response profiles.The results reported in this paper can be used in performance evaluation of wireless indoor communication systems, either directly or by developing a comprehensive channel simulator.

Stochastic Modeling of Impulse Responses in Reverberating Environments

“…Convergence to this kind of process is consistent with observations in real-life scenarios, as presented, e.g., in [8], [12], [22] and indirectly in [11], where a zero excess kurtosis was observed. A uniform phase-shift angle distribution was confirmed in [6], [38].…”

Modelo de Propagação Empírico de Interiores para Redes LTE em 2600 MHz

“…Para aplicação dessas técnicas,é necessário um nível de detalhamento muito elevado da geometria do prédio e dos materiais utilizados na construção, o que nem sempre está disponível para os projetos de rádio. Nos modelos empíricos, são apresentadas equações (o que facilita a sua implementação) que consideram as perdas do espaço-livre adicionadas as perdas de pisos e paredes, para representar o ambiente fechado, sendo essas equações obtidas através de medições realizadas no ambiente de análise, sendo seus ajustes e modificações do modelo de atenuação do espaço livre dado pela equação de Friis [7]. Para esse trabalho, serão comparados os resultados da aplicação dos modelos empíricos mais utilizados e reconhecidamente mais eficientes para células em interiores na faixa de frequência estudada, sendo eles: One Slope, Dual-Slope, Particionado, Multi-Parede COST231, Average Walls e ITU-R P1238.…”

Study of Wireless Sensor Networks Routing Metric for High Reliable Transmission

“…Many papers have given specific experiments in order to obtain the fitting curves between LQI and PRR. In the reference [21], the actually observed data are separated, and the relationship of LQI and PRR is obtained by means of replacing continuous function with piecewise function. Here, the data are divided into two intervals ([54, 70] and (70, 110]), then the fitness of curve is 0.92.…”
