WLAN MIMO Channel Modeling Goals • To develop a set of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel models backwards compatible with existing 802.11 channel models developed by Medbo and Schramm [1]. • Channel models can be used to evaluate new WLAN proposals based on multiple antenna technologies. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Existing Models Overview • Five delay profile models for single-input single-output (SISO) systems were proposed in [1] for different environments (A-E): • Model A for a typical office environment, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions, and 50 ns rms delay spread. • Model B for a typical large open space and office environments, NLOS conditions, and 100 ns rms delay spread. • Model C for a large open space (indoor and outdoor), NLOS conditions, and 150 ns rms delay spread. • Model D, same as model C, line-of-sight (LOS) conditions, and 140 ns rms delay spread (10 dB Ricean K-factor at the first delay). • Model E for a typical large open space (indoor and outdoor), NLOS conditions, and 250 ns rms delay spread. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
We Follow Cluster Modeling Approach • In each of the A-E models distinct clusters can be clearly identified. • Clustering approach is a common approach used for indoor channel modeling, verified by numerous experimental data. • Pioneer work done by Saleh and Valenzuela [2] and further elaborated and extended upon by many researchers [3-8]. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Channel Model-A Example • Three clusters can be clearly identified. Remaining • models B-E have 4,6,6, and 5 clusters, respectively. Cluster 1 Cluster 2 dB Cluster 3 Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Spatial Representation of 3 Clusters Cluster 1 Cluster 2 R1 R2 LOS Tx Antennas Rx Antennas R3 Cluster 3 Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Modeling Approach • Only time domain information from A-E SISO models can be determined (delay of each delay within each cluster and corresponding power using extrapolation methods). • In addition, for the MIMO clustering approach the following parameters have to be determined: • Power azimuth spectrum (PAS) shape of each cluster and tap • Cluster angle-of-arrival (AoA), mean • Cluster angular spread (AS) at the receiver • Cluster Angle-of-departure (AoD), mean • Cluster AS at the transmitter • Tap AS (we assume 5o for all) • Tap AoA • Tap AoD Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Cluster and Tap PAS Shape • Cluster and tap PAS follow Laplacian distribution. Example of Laplacian AoA (AoD) distribution, cluster, AS = 30o Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Cluster AoA and AoD • It was found in [3,4] that the relative cluster mean AoAs have a random uniform distribution over all angles. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Cluster AS • We use the following findings to determine cluster AS: • In [3] the mean cluster AS values were found to be 21o and 25o for two buildings measured. In [4] the mean AS value was found to be 37o. To be consistent with these findings, we select the mean cluster AS values for models A-E in the 20o to 40o range. • For outdoor environments, it was found that the cluster rms delay spread (DS) is highly correlated (0.7 correlation coefficient) with the AS [9]. It was also found that the cluster rms delay spread and AS can be modeled as correlated log-normal random variables. We apply this finding to our modeling approach. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Cluster AS: Cont’ • The mean AS per model was determined using the formula (per model mean AS values in the 20o – 40o range) where DS is cluster delay spread. • Cluster AS variation within each model was determined using 0.7 correlation with cluster DS and assuming log-normal distributions. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Cluster AS: Cont’ • Resulting cluster AS (at the receiver) and DS for all five models (A-E) is • shown in the figure below Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Tap AS, AoA, and AoD • We assume that each tap PAS shape is Laplacian with AS = 5o. • Following constraints that satisfy cluster AS and AoA (AoD), tap AoA and AoD can be determined using numerical methods. where li is a zero-mean, unit-variance Laplacian random variable, bi is a scaling parameter related to the power roll-off coefficient of the cluster, D is a parameter that is determined using numerical global search method to satisfy the required AS and mean AoA of each cluster; ao is the mean cluster AoA; s2tot is cluster AS, and s2a,i is tap AS. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.

Next Steps • So far we have completely defined PAS of each tap (AS and Laplacian AoA distribution) and AoA of each tap. These parameters were determined so that the cluster AS and mean cluster AoA requirements are met (experimentally determined published results). • Next, we show how we use tap AoA and AS information to calculate per tap transmit and receive antenna correlation matrices and from that finally the MIMO channel matrices H. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
MIMO Channel Matrix Formulation • Example 4 x 4 MIMO matrix H for each tap is as follows where Xij (i-th receiving and j-th transmitting antenna) are correlated zero-mean, unit variance, complex Gaussian random variables as coefficients of the Rayleigh matrix HV, exp(jfij) are the elements of the fixed matrix HF, K is the Ricean K-factor, and P is the power of each tap. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
MIMO Channel Matrix Formulation: Cont’ To correlate the Xij elements of the matrix X, the following method can be used 4x4 MIMO channel transmit and receive correlation matrices are Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
MIMO Channel Matrix Formulation: Cont’ • Correlation coefficients for each tap can be determined using tap PAS (represented by Laplacian distribution and corresponding AS) and tap AoA (AoD) • where D = 2pd/l (for linear antenna array) and RXX and RXY are the cross-correlation functions between the real parts (equal to the cross-correlation function between the imaginary parts) and between the real part and imaginary part, respectively. Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
MIMO Channel Matrix H Generation • Use power, AS, AoA and AoD tap parameters from tables A-D. • Per tap, calculate transmit and receive correlation matrices. • Using correlation matrices and Hiid generate instantiations of channel matrices H, as many as required by simulation. Matlab program that can be used to generate per tap H matrices will be provided by Laurent Schumacher [10] (most likely by May 2003). Vinko Erceg, Zyray Wireless; et al.
Conclusion • WLAN MIMO channel models were developed based on extensive published experimental data and models. • The models are based on per tap correlation matrices determined from tap AS and AoA. • Matlab program will be provided that generates instantiations of channel matrices H for each tap and antenna combination.
