Final report on link level and system level channel models - Winner

WINNER D5.4 v. 1.4
In 2005 a new series of measurements was performed at two locations, Oulu University main building
and Oulu University wing building Tietotalo. Two different buildings were measured at 5.25 GHz with
100 MHz bandwidth. In the two buildings, more than 8 BSs were chosen with many different routes.
Tietotalo is a typical office environment, the corridors of which are narrow with widths around 1.8
meters. In the university main building, the corridors have different width, the widest is around 3.5
meters. In the room measurements at the university main building, the room size is very close to 10 m by
10 m, as in the definition of the scenario A1. In Tietotalo the sizes of the measured rooms were
comparable to 10 m by 10 m. The largest combined sets of IRs for deriving channel models and
parameters are over 55000.
The indoor environments here are divided into the following 4 cases:
(1) Corridor-corridor LOS (c-c LOS): both BS and MS were placed at the corridors.
(2) Room-corridor and corridor-room NLOS (r-c NLOS): BS in a room, MS in an adjacent corridor
vice versa.
(3) Room-room LOS/OLOS (r-r LOS/OLOS): both BS and MS in the rooms.
(4) Corridor-corridor NLOS (c-c NLOS)
In the analysis, 100 IRs for a drop are used (about 1.4 meters), if no window length is mentioned.
The following definitions are used: paths = peaks = ZDSC, Noise cut levels used in the analysis: For
LOS: 28 ~ 35 dB. For NLOS: 15 dB ~ 30 dB.
5.2.2 Scenario B1
5.2.2.1 HUT background campaign
These measurements were performed outside the WINNER project by HUT and they were used as
background data for Scenario B1. The sounder was the HUT sounder with centre-frequency 5.3 GHz and
bandwidth (chip rate) 60 MHz. The measurements in the micro-cell environment included both LOS and
NLOS routes in a fairly regular rectangle street grid with 4-5-storey buildings. In the measurements the
fixed Tx antenna was a 16-element dual-polarised planar patch antenna array and the mobile Rx antenna a
semispherical antenna with 15 dual-polarized patch elements. The antennas are shown in Figure 5.9.
5.2.3 Scenario B3
5.2.3.1 TUI campaign
These measurements were done with the RUSK ATM MIMO sounder by Medav [Medav]. The centrefrequency
in the measurements was 5.2 GHz and the bandwidth was 120 MHz. The indoor environment
consisted of a university lecture hall (conference hall) and the entrance area (foyer) next to it. The foyer is
characterized by a 2 floor open environment, with dimension of 15m x 30m x 8m. The conference hall is
a typical lecture hall environment with slowly elevated sitting rows; the dimension is 30m x 35m x 15m.
In all measurement cases the Tx was moving on the same track, whereby the position of the Rx was
changed in the hall. Within the conference hall scenario two different main setups where used, namely
LOS and NLOS/OLOS, where in the latter the LOS was obstructed by an absorber mat.
The pictures of high-resolution antennas used in TUI measurement campaign are shown in Figure 5.7.
