• Estimate “distortion” caused by the propagation environments.

• Produce a statistical description of channel as a function of environment type.

Major Analysis Assumptions

• Channel modeled as a linear time-invariant (LTI) filter.– assume that there are negligible changes to the channel on the

time scale of a communications packet.

• Impulse response for the channel is assumed to be of the form

– channel’s effect on signal is modeled as a series of amplitude scalings ak and time delays k.

Explanation of Channel Statistics

• Channels characterized in terms of the following statistical parameters– Number of multipath components per channel.

– Occupancy probabilities as a function of excess delay.

– Mean log relative magnitudes as a function of excess delay.

– RMS delay as a function of distance.

– Mean excess delay as a function of distance.

85% Energy Capture Ratio Used for Statistical Analysis

• Number of multipath components per channel is the statistic that is most sensitive to changes in the stopping criteria.

• Large change in number of multipath components causes only small changes in other statistics in going from 85% to 95% energy capture ratio.

• 85% stopping criteria also good from a least squares point of view.

Statistical Environmental Models

• Each environment characterized by statistical profile of channels collected from that environment.

• Statistical analysis and model fitting done only for metal stud measurements.– 369 metal stud measurements.– 60 wood stud measurements not enough for statistical

breakdown.– Three scenarios considered:

• I. NLOS, 0 to 4 meters, metal stud (120 channels).• II. LOS, 0 to 4 meters, metal stud (xxx channels).• III. NLOS, 4 to 10 meters, metal stud (xxx channels).

– Not enough LOS, 4 to 10 meter channels for analysis.

Modeling Approach

• Attempted to fit two analytical models to the data– A modified IEEE 802.11 channel model– Modified -K model

• Models evaluated on how well they reproduced the statistic distributions of the data– Bhattacharyya distance calculated between

simulated and measured distributions.

Modified IEEE 802.11 model

• Regularly spaced impulses– modified for UWB to allow for random placement of

impulses in each time bin

• Raleigh-distributed magnitudes

• Exponential decay profile• input parameters

– TRMS : RMS delay parameter

– TS : time discretization unit

• Unable to match both RMS delay and multipath intensity profile simultaneously.

-K Model

• Arrival time model– Model “clumping” of multipath arrival times by making

the probability of an arrival in a given excess delay bin dependent on whether there was an arrival in the previous bin.

– “K” value is the ratio of these conditional probabilities.• Modeling assumption is that K is constant.

– “” value is the time discretization unit.

• Amplitude model

– Log-normal model for multipath amplitudes

– Mean and standard deviation as functions of excess delay given by the statistics of the data.

• Multipath arrival times governed by statistics of data– Probability of a multipath arrival in a given

time bin depends on whether previous bin was occupied.

– Positive and negative conditional probabilities derived from statistics of data.

– No assumption that ratio of conditional probabilities is constant.

Simulation Results

• Time discretization unit= = 0.1 ns for all cases.

• Empirical probabilities of occupancy and log relative magnitude data used as inputs to model.

– A -K simulation would use approximations to these quantities as its inputs, and hence could perform no better.

Conclusion• Modeling channel response as a sum of scaled/delayed

versions of channel input provides a good fit to data.

• Wide variety of channel characteristics, even within the same environment.

• Multipath arrival times and average power decay profiles follow linear or piece-wise linear trends.

• Exact parameter values for arrival times and decay profiles are dependent on the environment type.

• Occupancy probabilities and decay profiles do not completely characterize the channel data, since two models can have the same statistics for these quantities, and yet differ in the statistics of RMS delay.

Recommendations

• IEEE 802.11 and -K model should not be used, because they do not provide good fits to the statistical models of the environments.

• Selected SG3A model should fit the collected data.– Number of multipath components per channel– Probability of occupancy – Average power decay profile– Distribution of RMS delay vs. distance– Distribution of mean excess delay vs. distance
