Virtual Multi-link Propagation Investigation of an Outdoor Scenario At 300 MHz
Author
Summary, in English
The COST 2100 channel model has introduced the
concept of common clusters to model multi-link MIMO characteristics.
In this paper, a ray launching tool is used to analyze
multi-ink propagation properties in an outdoor scenario at 300
MHz. It is shown that in a multi-link propagation scenario there
are shared scatterers among the different links, which reflects
the physical existence of common clusters. The identification of
common clusters in the measured outdoor scenario is discussed
with respect to the shared scatterers and distances between the
scatterers and multiple mobile stations (MSs).We observe that, as
the MS separation distance is increasing, the number of common
clusters is decreasing and the inter-link correlation is decreasing
as well. Multi-link MIMO simulations are also performed using
the COST 2100 channel model with extracted common cluster
parameters. It is shown that the common clusters can represent
multi-link properties well with respect to inter-link correlation
and sum rate capacity.
