Ray based modelling of indoor channels for capacity evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An image based ray-tracing approach is utilized to predict the capacity of a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) indoor wireless communication system. The results are compared to measured capacity and path loss values. The sensitivity of the spectrum efficiency estimation to physical propagation parameters such as electric permeability and conductivity of the transmission and reflection walls is demonstrated.

Spatial dispersion and performance evaluation of indoor MIMO channels at 2.25 GHz†
Channel capacity of a MIMO system is dependent not only on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) but also on spatial correlation among antenna elements. Therefore, the system design must rely on good propagation predictions. By using a ray tracing simulator, which considers reflections, penetrations and diffractions in 3-D space, we predict channel properties and evaluate capacity of 4× 4 indoor MIMO...

The use of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channels has recently attracted considerable interest as an approach that can yield significant capacity gains over conventional smart antenna arrays. This paper presents a new channel model for MIMO systems in populated indoor environments. The model is based on geometrical optics and a detailed radar cross-section (RCS) representation of the hu...

This paper reports on the results of Ultra-Wideband measurements for several scenarios from 2 GHz to 6 GHz within an office building and investigates the applicability of deterministic modelling through 3D ray tracing to UWB channels. The blind prediction, based on the a priori knowledge of material parameters and on measured antenna radiation patterns, uses a sub-band-divided ray tracing. Meas...
متن کاملAntenna spacing in MIMO indoor channels
We study the relation between antenna spacing and capacity of MIMO channels for indoor environments using a ray tracing program. It has been confirmed also by measurements that in rich scattering environments an antenna spacing below 0.5λ is sufficient to reach nearly the full capacity predicted for multiple-antenna arrays in ideal and uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channels.
متن کاملCapacity Optimization and Modelling of frequency selective WLAN indoor MIMO Channels based on measured data
Motivated by channel measurements in different indoor locations we will show that the WLAN indoor MIMO channel is characterized by few dominant transmission paths mainly corresponding to the LOS path and some strong reflections. In the contrary to the common statistical flat Rayleigh fading channel model we will explain that the WLAN channel is widely deterministic and frequency selective. Furt...
