802.15.3c Channel Model Description (1) • The statistical channel models [1] developed by the IEEE 802.15.3c group included the following features: • LOS and NLOS components • Based on the generalized Saleh-Valenzuela channel model with clustering in both the time and angular domains • Cluster arrivals and intra-cluster ray arrivals are modeled with two Poisson random processes. • Cluster amplitudes and intra-cluster ray amplitudes are modeled with log-normal random processes. • The cluster angle-of-arrival (AoA) has a uniform probability density. The AoAs of different clusters are independent. • The individual AoA of each ray within each cluster has either Gaussian or Laplacian density. Vinko Erceg, Broadcom
802.15.3c Channel Model Description (2) Vinko Erceg, Broadcom
802.15.3c Channel Model Discussion (1) • We believe the general approach used to create the channel models, based on the extended time-angular S-V model, is valid. Some of results obtained by the IEEE 802.15.3c channel modeling group may be reused in the 60 GHz TGad channel model. • However, the reuse of the IEEE 802.15.3c channel modeling results is complicated by the fact that no raw channel measurement data, except for the IMST company data used to generate the library model, are available [2].

802.15.3c Channel Model Discussion (2) • 802.15.3c channel model provides limited support for evaluating beamforming performance: • Angle-of-Departure (AoD) is not included in the .15.3c channel models and the AoA model only describes the azimuth angle (no elevation information) • There is no support for polarization characteristics: • As was shown in [3], the degradation due to polarization mismatch can be as high as 20 dB • There is no support for non-stationary, human body blockage effects which can have a strong impact on 60 GHz devices Vinko Erceg, Broadcom
802.15.3c Channel Model Discussion (3) • Due to differences in the approaches to statistical channel modeling, 802.15.3c decided to prepare golden data sets (instead of Matlab code) for the channel realizations that were used in proposal evaluation. • The golden sets were prepared for only a subset of the channel models (CM1, CM2 and CM3) that included some “extraordinary” realizations that produced a BER “floor” for some channels [4, 5]. Vinko Erceg, Broadcom
Propagation Environments of Interest for TGad • Three environments are considered in accordance with the evaluation methodology proposal [6]: • Residential living room • Conference room • Cubicle environment • Adding more environments may unnecessarily complicate the channel model development: • Most of the TGad usage models [7] can be related to the above three environments • Measurements may not be available for other environments Vinko Erceg, Broadcom
Proposed Requirements for TGad Channel Models • Adopt the general structure of the 802.15.3c models and add the following features: • Support for steerable directional antennas at both the TX and RX sides (i.e. both AoA and AoD distributions) • Polarization characteristics of antennas and signals • Non-stationary/human body blockage effects • Consider three propagation environments: • Residential living room • Conference room • Cubicle environment Vinko Erceg, Broadcom
