Abstract

This paper presents a generalized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel modeling technique for link level and system level simulations. The model combines the correlation approach and wave superposition approach to achieve both accuracy and efficiency. The spatial, temporal, and frequency dispersions of the MIMO channels are implicitly modeled based on any given statistics. Polarizations, channel transitions, uplink and downlink channels, and keyhole-pinhole channels are modeled as optional modules. Theoretical justifications as well as experimental verification of the model are also presented. The proposed model can be applied to system simulations for MIMO as well as other adaptive antenna applications.
