  4. MIMO Modeling: Macrocells • No scatterer around the elevated base station (BS). • Scatterers around the mobile station (MS) are located on a ring. Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  5. MIMO Modeling: Micro & Picocells • Scatterers around the BS and the MS are located on separate rings. Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  6. Advantage of Ring Models • Simple to analyze  Provide closed-form expressions for space, time, and frequency correlations. • Capture essential characteristics of MIMO channels using few parameters such as mean angle of arrivals/departures, Doppler, angle spreads, etc. • Compatible with previous well-accepted models such as Clarke’s. Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  7. Advantage of Ring Models (continued) • Suitable for mobile Tx and Rx scenarios. • Applicable to wideband channels by modifying rings to circular rings. • Example: wideband macrocell model. Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  8. MIMO Modeling: Correlations • Closed-form expressions are derived for: • (Narrowband) space-time corr. where is the channel gain between the p-th Tx and l-th Rx antennas. • (Wideband) space-time-frequency corr. , where is the time-varying transfer function between the p-th Tx and l-th Rx antennas. • These correlations are needed to simulate and assess the performance of MIMO systems.

  30. Motivation • LCR (Level Crossing Rate) & AFD (Average Fade Duration) extensively studied in SISO channels: • Interleaver optimization • Adaptive modulation • Outage analysis in multiuser systems • Throughput estimation of protocols • Markov modeling of fading channels • LCR/AFDalso studied for receive diversity (SIMO) • How about MIMO channels?! Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  31. x(t) t t0 Two MIMO Crossing Problems • Scalar crossing: There is a scalar processx(t) & we count the # of times it crosses a threshold (a traditional crossing problem) Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  32. y(t) t0 x(t) Two MIMO Crossing Problems (cont) • Vector crossing: There is a vector process w(t) = [x(t) y(t)]T & we count the # of times it crosses a multidimensional surface (needs a multidimensional approach) Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  34. γ(t) γ2 Probability γ1 t Incrossing Rate More on Total SNR in MIMO • Total MIMO SNR is useful for Markov modeling, channel characterization, and system design • Need to calculate ASD (Average Stay Duration) of γ(t) between two thresholds γ1 and γ2 Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  35. Incrossing Rate of Total SNR • Space-time correlated Rayleigh fading  correlated zero-mean complex Gaussian hlp(t)’s • We have used this paper for incrossing of γ(t): A. M. Hasofer, “The upcrossing rate of a class of stochastic processes,” in Studies in Probability and Statistics. E. J. Williams, Ed., 1974. • For an MN channel, a (2MN-1)-fold integral needs to be solved (very time consuming) • We are developing a simpler technique (not done yet!) Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  36. Example: Crossing of Total SNR • MIMO channel (macrocell) model, taken from: • A. Abdi and M. Kaveh, “A space-time correlation model for multielement antenna systems in mobile fading channels,” IEEE JSAC, 2002. Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  41. A Simple Case Study • Rayleigh fading with no spatial correlation, as the temporal correlation for each subchannel • h(t0) =  [1 1 … 1]T,  > 0 Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  42. Quantitative Analysis of Block Fading Question: For how long, all the subchannels stay within a hypercube of side 2, centered at  [1 1 … 1]T ? Polytechnic University, Dec. 4, 2003

  43.
