Narrowband models Review of properties Narrowband models contain only one attenuation, which is modeled as a propagation loss, plus large- and small-scale fading. Path loss: Often proportional to 1/d n, where n is the propagation exponent (n may be different at different distances). Large-scale fading: Log-normal distribution (normal distr. in db scale) Small-scale fading: Rayleigh, Rice, Nakagami distributions... (of amplitudes and not in db-scale) 2012-02-03 Fredrik Tufvesson - ETIN10 5
Okumura s measurements Extensive measurement campaign in Japan in the 1960 s. Parameters varied during measurements: Frequency Distance Mobile station height Base station height Environment 100 3000 MHz 1 100 km 1 10 m 20 1000 m medium-size city, large city, etc. Propagation loss is given as median values (50% of the time and 50% of the area). Results from these measurements are displayed in figures 7.12 7.14 in the appendix. 2012-02-03 Fredrik Tufvesson - ETIN10 6

The Okumura-Hata model Background In 1980 Hata published a parameterized model, based on Okumura s measurements. The parameterized model has a smaller range of validity than the measurements by Okumura: Frequency Distance Mobile station height Base station height 150 1500 MHz 1 20 km 1 10 m 30 200 m 2012-02-03 Fredrik Tufvesson - ETIN10 8

The COST 231-Walfish-Ikegami model The Okumura-Hata model is not suitable for micro cells or small macro cells, due to its restrictions on distance (d > 1 km). The COST 231-Walfish-Ikegami model covers much smaller distances, is better suited for calculations on small cells and covers the 1800 MHz band as well.

arrival time If the bandwidth is high, the time resolution is large so we might resolve the different multipath components Need to model arrival time The Saleh-Valenzuela model: h Double-exponential L l 0 K k 0 shape for the ray power: k,l T l k,l cluster arrival time (Poisson) ray arrival time (Poisson) 2012-02-03 Fredrik Tufvesson - ETIN10 15

Wideband models ITU-R model for 3G The ITU-R model specifies: SIX different tapped delay-line channels for three different scenarios (indoor, pedestrian, vehicular). TWO channels per scenario (one short and one long delay spread). TWO different Doppler spectra (uniform & classical), depending on scenario. THREE different models for propagation loss (one for each scenario). The standard deviation of the log-normal shadow fading is specified for each scenario. The autocorrelation of the log-normal shadow fading is specified for the vehicular scenario. 2012-02-03 Fredrik Tufvesson - ETIN10 21

Ray launching TX antenna sends out rays in different directions We follow each ray as it propagates, until it either Reaches the receiver, or Becomes too weak to be relevant Propagation processes Free-space attenuation Reflection Diffraction and diffuse scattering: each interacting object is source of multiple new rays Predicts channel in a whole area (for one TX location) 2012-02-03 Fredrik Tufvesson - ETIN10 32
