Abstract

Essential parameters of physical, propagation-based MIMO channel models are the fading statistics and the directional spread of multipath clusters. In this paper we determine these parameters in the azimuth-of-arrival/azimuth-of-departure (AoA/AoD) domain based on comprehensive indoor MIMO measurements at 5.2 GHz in a cluttered office environment using the SAGE algorithm for parameter estimation. Due to cluster identification in AoA/AoD-domain we found a greater number of clusters than those reported in previous publications. Regarding the fading statistics of clusters, so far not studied, strong (obstructed-)line-of-sight clusters show Rician fading, corresponding to few dominant propagation paths, whereas most clusters exhibit Rayleigh fading, corresponding to many paths with approximately equal powers and uncorrelated phases. Root-mean-square cluster azimuth spreads (CASs) were estimated with a novel method by appropriately restricting the support of the cluster azimuth distribution. We found that the estimated CASs are different when seen from transmitter or receiver, i.e. their ranges are from 2deg to 9deg and from 2deg to 7deg at the transmitter side and the receiver side, respectively
