A Modified Model for the Fading Signal at a Mobile Radio Channel

Abstmct-A generalization of an existing model for the fading signal at a mobile radio antenna has been made. The generalization lies in let- ting the scattering waves not necessarily be traveling horizontally. The effects of this generalization are investigated concerning probability density function (pdf), correlational properties, and power spectra of the phase and envelope. The pdf is not affected, but the power spec- trum of the envelope is significantly affected. This generalized spectrum is smoother than the original and always finite, which the latter is not. Thus it is assumed that the generalized model is more consistent with measured spectra, especially in urban environments.

T I. INTRODUCTION

YPICAL for mobile radio communication is that one sta- tion is fixed in position while the other is moving. Usually,

no direct line exists between the stations, since, e.g., buildings break this line. Therefore, the mode of propagation of the electromagnetic energy between the stations will be largely by way of scattering. In an urban environment, it could be expected that these scattered waves not necessarily travel hori- zontally, since by diffraction the waves propagate from the top of a house down to the street.

It is the aim of this report to investigate the influence of this nonhorizontal propagation. In Section I1 previous models are presented, and the modification is shown. The effects of this modification are shown in Sections 111 and IV and in the last section a specular component is included.

11. THE MODEL

A . Previous Models When measuring the envelope of a transmitted sinusoidal

carrier as seen by a mobile radio antenna in an urban environ- ment, it is observed that this signal is time-varying, although the transmitted envelope is not [ l ] , [2] , [SI, [ 6 ] . It is also observed that when the receiving antenna is standing still, the envelope is almost constant [ 6 ] .

This is a fairly strong implication that the envelope is con- stant in time, but varies spatially, and a model for this spatial variation is thus called for. Of course the spatial variation of the envelope is caused by multipath propagation, and statisti- cal models based on this assumption have been proposed [ 1 ] -

Ossanna [ l ] was the first t o propose a statistical model in terms of a set of vertically polarized horizontally traveling plane interfering waves. His model is primarily suited for suburban areas, and the basic assumption is that just one house

By giving the point (xo, )lo) a velocity u in any direction, the power spectrum of the envelope can be found analytically and compared to measured spectra [ 2 ] [3] , [SI.

As seen from Fig. 2 (taken from [2] ) there still is a signifi- cant disagreement between theoretical and measured spectra. For an explanation of (a) and (b), see [ 2 ] .

B. A Modified Model

The previous models have in common that the component waves are traveling horizontally. In an urban environment this is not true, since then no transmission between a distant trans- mitter and a receiver on the street would be possible.

The new model proposed here is simply Clarke's model generalized to the case where the vertically polarized plane waves are not necessarily traveling horizontally. A typical com- ponent wave can be seen in Fig. 3. This is a plane wave and has an angle of arrival a, to the x-z plane and pn to the x-y plane, and with each wave is associated an amplitude c, and a phase shift (P,, . The parameters a,, 0, ~ pn . and c, are all random and statistically independent. Moreover.

Giving the point (xo, yo , zo) a velocity u in a direction with angle y to the x-z plane, i.e., (xo, yo, zo) -+ ( u cos y, v sin y, zo). the resulting field is

According to the central limit theorem, T,(t) and T,(t) are ap- proximately Gaussian if N is sufficiently large. Actually, this approximation is very good for N 2 6 [7 ] . These processes will be regarded as purely Gaussian.

Since the process E(?) is Gaussian, it is completely charac- terized by the mean function E{E(t)} and autocorrelation function E{E(t) E(t + T ) } . From ( 6 ) we have

E(E(t)} = E(T,(t)} COS act - E{T,(t)}

sin w,t = 0 (9)

since E{T,(t)} = E{T,(t)} = 0 and

E(E( f ) E(? + 7 ) ) = E{T,(f) T,(t + 7)) COS Wc7

From (1 2 ) we have

since Jo(0) = 1, so PO(.) does not affect the distributional properties of the envelope and the phase.

However, the correlational properties of R ( t ) and (At) are affected by pa(* ) , since different p p ( * ) give different ~ ( 7 ) .

An example can be seen in Fig. 4. Of course, the p p ( * ) chosen for Fig. 4 (b) is very unreal-

istic; it was chosen just to demonstrate the effect. It can be noticed that pp@) = S@) corresponds to Clarke's model. The model can easily be further generalized to include a specular component (see Fig. 5).

The angles ao, P o , the phase cpo, and the amplitude &are unknown constants, and from (6)-(8) we have the field caused by the specular component

and the correlational properties of the process are thus de- Ed(t) = T c d ( t ) cos w,t - Tsd(t) sin w,? (1 6 ) picted by U(T) and ~(7).

The function u(7) does not change much for small P , , and to be able to see any difference between ao(7) and a ( ~ ) , 0, has to be chosen very large. The difference can be seen in Fig. 7 where P , has been chosen nonphysically larger, just for demonstration.

The reason why ACf) changes so drastically compared to A o w , even for very small P , , is that the Fourier transform uses ~ ( 7 ) from --OQ to +w. Since U ( T ) is stretched (by a factor cos 0) and averaged with respect to p p ( - ) , replica of u0(7), u(7)

does not change much for small 7, but it certainly does when 7

and it is also seen that comparatively large values of 0, are required to change uo”(0) significantly.

From (41) it is easily seen that R(t ) is a Gaussian process with zero mean and variance -u”(O). Likewise, we have

so cp(t) conditioned R(t) = r is also Gaussian with zero mean and variance -a’ f (0) / rz .

From (46) it can be concluded that small values of 0, do not affect these pdf’s.

The autocorrelation function for the derivative of the phase is [4]

r + ( T ) = E { $ ( t ) - $(t + T ) }

and since it is a function of u(T), u’(T), and o”(T) it changes significantly for large 0,.~. The power spectrum of cp(r) probably undergoes significant changes even if 0, is small? but this spectrum has not been found exactly.

The expression for the expected number of times per second Nr the envelope passes through the value r with posi- tive slope is given by [4]

is not significantly affected by 0, for small values of 0,. This, as can be easily seen, is also valid for the average duration of fades of the envelope R(t ) below the value r [4] , y,

where lo(.) is the modified Bessel function of the first kind and zero order, and e(*) is the error function.2

It can be noticed that R,(t) is a stationary process since P R , ( t ) ( r ) is independent of t, but pr(t) is not. In Fig. 11 the pdf for the phase can be seen at two different occasions. As will be seen later, not even the process

is stationary, although the pdf for $ ( t ) of course is independ- en t o f t .

than for the envelope itself. From Appendix 111 we have It seems plausible that the phase $( t ) = vr(t) - wot should be a stationary process, since

and it can at once be noticed that the quantity wo, the Dop- pler frequency shift of the specular component, is entering this expression. Since

this shift is maximum 2nvlX when y - a0 = 0 or 77 and 00 = 0, i.e., when the specular component is horizontal and enters either from ahead or behind. The angle Po should be very small, thus affecting wo very little.

In Fig. 12 are plotted several rRr(7), where also the scat- tering components are not necessarily traveling horizontally. The pdf for the deviation from the horizontal case is

Now, by taking the Fourier transform of (57), the pow-er spec- trum is easily found as

by (3% (33).

B. Phase Correlation

From Fig. 14 where the phasors of the specular component 6 the Rayleigh component R( t ) , and the resulting envelope R,(r) are shown, some interesting facts about the resulting phase cp,(t) can be seen. As was noticed earlier, the phase function q,(t) is not stationary, since its pdf is a function of 1. This is because the phasor of the specular component is rotat- ing with an angular frequency of wo rad/s.

is independent of f . However, from Fig. 15, which is a shifted replica of Fig. 14,i t can be seen that the “new” Rayleigh phase angle q(t) - mot must have a statistic depending on t .

Since the phase $( t ) is a function of this “new” Rayleigh phase angle, it will certainly not be a stationary process. This can be explained by the fact that (dt) is rectangularly dis- tributed throughout 0 to 2n, and so is rp(t) - wot for all t : measured modulo 27r. The linearly increasing phase wot is thereby hidden behind the process (dt) (see Fig. 16). Since the pdf of the phase rp(t) - wot is independent of t , the pdf of the process $(t) is too.

Looking at, e.g., the two-dimensional pdf for the phases $( t ) and $(t + T ) ? we find that this pdf is not independent of t , since the shifting gave the result that the phasor of the specular component stopped rotating, but the phasor of the Rayleigh component instead began to rotate. Thus the effect of the Doppler frequency shift of the specular component cannot be removed, although wo is known, because then (dt) also has to be known.

V. CONCLUSIONS

Previous models [1]-[3] for the fading envelope at a mobile radio channel have been extended to include a multi- path propagation mode? often present in the streets of a city with tall buildings. It was assumed that the waves in such an environment also could have a vertical component of propaga- tion direction, and the effects of this extension were studied, with the previous models as a reference and special case.

It was found that the pdf of the envelope and the phase were left unchanged, whereas the correlational properties of these quantities were not.

Examining the autocorrelation of the envelope by means of the power spectrum, it was found that the shape of the spec- trum was heavily affected even for small deviations from the purely horizontal mode of multipath propagation. Concerning the autocorrelation of the phase, the power spectrum could not be found analytically, but it was made plausible that this spectrum should be affected in the same way, i.e., a lower frequency spectrum should be achieved.

It is assumed that this new extended model should be used in an urban environment, but of course, measurements have to be made to confirm whether this new model fits significantly better.

As will be seen later, p c (.) is not needed, but instead

where Eo is a positive constant. u, y, X, and zo are all non- random constants.

It follows that

a(7) = E{Tc(t) Tc(t + 7)) = z E{C,C , N

m , n = l

Now, the stochastic variables

are rectangularly distributed throughout 0 to 271 for all m and n except ti2 when m = n. When m = n, 6 equals zero with probability 1. Thus taking expectation over (P,, (P, gives

1 N E{Tc(t) Tc(t +7)) = a(7) = x E{c,2 cos w,7)

Eo 2N n = l

= - E{ cos w,7)

where the least expression comes from carrying out the expectation over c,. Since all w, are identically distributed subscripts can be deleted yielding

a(7) = - EO E{ COS U T } . 2

This expression cannot be further simplified without specify- ing Pa(*) and Pp(.) .

In Fig. 18, R ( f ) is the Rayleigh envelope, (c(f) the Rayleigh phase, and R.(t) the resulting Rician fadine envelone. From

where O,(t) is the unknown but nonrandom phase of the specular component. Taking expectation we have

E{Rr2(f)} =Ed + E{R2(f)} + 2 a E { R ( t ) )

From (82) we also have

E{Rr2(t) - Rr2(t + 7))

where the second term is 4Eda(0), using (85). Furthermore, since (see (1 3))

we have

where E{Tc2(t)) =a(O), using (lo), and

E{TC2(f) - TC2(t + T) }

= E{ Tc (t)} E{TC2 (t + 7)) + 2l? { T, ( f ) T, (t + 7))
