  1. Capacity Variation of Indoor Radio MIMO Systems Using a Deterministic Model A. Grennan DIT C. Downing DIT B. Foley TCD

  2. Introduction • MIM0 = MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT • Antenna Array Implementation • Radio Channel Efficiency Improvement • Multipath Reflections Utilized

  3. Structure of the presentation • Ray-tracing room model • Validation of the model • MIMO systems theory • Results of investigations • Conclusions and direction of future work

  4. Why use a Ray-tracing Model? • Modeling is an inexpensive alternative to site specific measurements • Traditional statistical models have focussed on power coverage requirements • Ray-tracing provides information on specific direction of arrival of rays • Antenna parameters and other physical aspects of room may be accurately modeled • A custom tool permits easy modification of all parameters

  5. Typical Ray-trace 3-D

  6. Validation of Model • Developed laboratory experiment • Employed established techniques for measurements • Directly compared simulated and measured rays • Determined delay spread from measured data and compared to simulated prediction

  7. Simulated and Measured Data Single Reflective Surface

  8. Simulated and Measured Data (2 surfaces)

  9. Simulated and Measured Delay Spread

  10. High Bit Rate RadiousingMulti-element Antennas(MIMO System) • System proposed by Foshini and Gans et al of Lucent Technologies • Standard radio channel capacity increases by 1 bit/sec/Hz for 3dB increase in SNR • Using multi-element antennas the capacity increases linearly with the number of elements in the array • This capacity increases without limit and is not restricted by multipath

  11. Multipaths in 4 X 4 system and Channel matrix For a single channel the efficiency is C/B = log2 (1+ |hij |2 *  ) where C is the bit rate, B is the channel bandwidth and  is the signal to noise ratio and where is the wavelength assuming frequency of 5.2 GHz (60 mm)

  12. Virtual parallel channels in 4 X 4 system The gain for the array is determined by calculating the eigenvalues, i of HH*. Thus, the overall system efficiency is given by

  13. RESULTS • Random matrix versus simulated measurements • RMS delay spread and Capacity • Effect of increased element spacing and signal correlation

  14. Random versus Simulated 1 S/N 18 dB /2 antenna element spacing

  15. Random versus Simulated 2 S/N 18 dB 5 antenna element spacing

  16. Random versus Simulatedcomment Random matrix does not accurately model fluctuations due to movement of arrays relative to reflective surfaces And Is only idicative of results when gain is at a maximun (center of room) or the element spacing in the array is large, thus decorrelating signal components.

  17. RMS delay spread  This is the power weighted impulse response of the channel wherethe first moment and second moments of the power delay profile are defined and

  18. Simulated RMS delay spread

  19. RMS delay spread with Spectral Efficiency S/N 18 dB /2 antenna element spacing

  20. RMS delay spreadcomment In case of small number of elements and when the spacing of the elements is small the delay spread is a good indication of the efficency fluctuation with distance but not when larger arrays are used. The traditional radio system designer would seek to position antennas so as to minimise delay spread but the opposite is required for mimo systems.

  21. Comparison of array sizes S/N 18 dB /2 antenna element spacing

  22. Effect of increasing element spacing S/N 18 dB /2 and 8  Element spacing

  26. Conclusions • Random matrices are limited in predicting mimo performance for indoor environment • Location of transmitter/receiver pair may have to be chosen carefully to avoid ‘nulls’ • Antenna element spacing/signal correlation is the most critical factor limiting system efficiency indoors
