Measurement-Based Time-Variant MIMO Channel Modelling Using Clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the novel Random-Cluster Model (RCM), a time-variant frequency-selective MIMO channel model. The most significant feature of the RCM is that it is parametrised directly from channel measurements by an automatic procedure. Thus, the RCM is specific to the environment, although it retains all advantages of a stochastic model. In this way it closes the gap between channel measurements and channel modelling. Validation proves that the RCM can render very well channels in the kind of measured ones.

A Time-Variant MIMO Channel Model Directly Parametrised from Measurements
This paper presents the Random-Cluster Model (RCM), a stochastic time-variant, frequency-selective, propagation-based MIMO channel model that is directly parametrised from measurements. Using a fully automated algorithm, multipath clusters are identified from measurement data without user intervention. The cluster parameters are then used to define the propagation environment in the RCM. In thi...
متن کاملThe Random-cluster Model – a Stochastic Mimo Channel Model for Broadband Wireless Communication Systems of the 3rd Generation and Beyond
This thesis presents the Random-Cluster Model (RCM), a novel geometry-based stochastic model for frequency-selective and smoothly time-variant MIMO radio channels. The RCM uses the concept of clusters, i.e. groups of multipath components (MPCs), to model the propagation environment. In the RCM, the environment is solely specified by the multivariate distribution of the cluster parameters, such ...
متن کاملCluster Parameters for Time-variant Mimo Channel Models
The next challenge for MIMO radio channel models is to simulate the time-variant nature of the channel correctly. Cluster-based MIMO channel models are well suited for this problem, however they currently lack an accurate parameterization of the time-variant cluster parameters. In this paper we identify and track clusters from three different measurements conducted in an indoor, a sub-urban, an...
متن کاملValidating a Novel Automatic Cluster Tracking Algorithm on Synthetic IlmProp Time-Variant MIMO Channels
On the way to answer the controversial question “What is a cluster?”, we introduce a novel cluster tracking mechanism which is based on the multi-path component distance (MCD). Starting from cluster estimates obtained by a recently introduced framework which automatically clusters parametric MIMO channel data, we are tracking cluster centroids in the multidimensional parameter domain. To valida...
متن کاملBehavior of a Multi-User MIMO System in Time-Varying Environments
We evaluated the behavior of a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system in time-varying channels using measured data. A base station for downlink or broadcast transmission requires downlink channel state information (CSI), which is outdated in time-varying environments and we encounter degraded performance due to interference. One of the countermeasures against time-variant envir...
