Analysis of the cyclic short-term variation of indoor power line channels

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the properties of indoor power line communications channels when they are used for broadband transmission. It will be shown that these channels exhibit a short-term variation, due to the fact that high-frequency parameters of electrical devices depend on the instantaneous amplitude of mains voltage. This phenomenon leads to a channel model proposal based on a linear periodically time-varying system and cyclostationary random noise. A measurement system, designed to capture these time variations in real power networks, and some of the most significant results obtained with it, are presented. In addition, a statistical analysis of the measurements performed in several indoor power line scenarios is included, so that the relevance of time variations in actual channels can be evaluated.

A Model of 60 GHz Indoor Radio Channel

A novel model of millimeter-wave (MMW) indoor radio channel is presented in this paper. The model is related the random properties of the MMW radio channel to the underlying geometry of the environment. The geometric simplicity of the MMW channel is allowed examining fundamental deterministic properties of the wave propagation behavior in environments of predefined randomness. The dimensions and properties of environments are described by various probability distributions. Stochastic influence on the radio channel is studied for the down-link of a wireless local area network at 60 GHz. Other related factors, such as amplitudes of path lengths, angles of departure, and amplitudes, as well as spatial power densities, average power of the direct paths are investigated.     

The ultra-wide bandwidth indoor channel: from statistical model to simulations

We establish a statistical model for the ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) indoor channel based on an extensive measurement campaign in a typical modern office building with 2-ns delay resolution. The approach is based on the investigation of the statistical properties of the multipath profiles measured in different rooms over a finely spaced measurement grid. The analysis leads to the formulation of a stochastic tapped-delay-line (STDL) model of the UWB indoor channel. The averaged power delay profile can be well-modeled by a single exponential decay with a statistically distributed decay constant. The small-scale statistics of path energy gains follow Gamma distributions whose parameters m are truncated Gaussian variables with mean values and standard deviations decreasing with delay. The total received energy experiences a lognormal shadowing around the mean energy given by the path-loss power law. We also find that the correlation between multipath components is negligible. Finally, we propose an implementation of the STDL model and give a comparison between the experimental data and the simulation results.     

Design considerations for broadband indoor infrared wireless communication systems

Recently there has been a growing interest in using infrared light for broadband indoor wireless communications. There are two major limitations for establishing a wideband infrared communications link. The first and most important limit is the power requirements of such a link. The second important impairment is the intersymbol interference caused by multipath dispersion. In this paper we address the issue of designing an optimized transmission system to provide the best power efficiency for an infrared link. Important parameters that should be considered for this design and some examples of efficient link designs are discussed. The suggested designs can improve the power efficiency of an indoor infrared link up to 4 to 8 dBo while providing a smaller rms delay spread, more robustness to shadowing and a more uniform distribution of power. Characteristics of the indoor infrared channel depends upon the directions of the receiver. This dependency can be used in designing a direction diversity receiver to decrease the rms delay spread of the received signal and to reduce the effects of noise by using proper combining techniques. We discuss the effects of receiver direction and field-of-view on the channel parameters and suggest a configuration for a direction diversity receiver.

Channel modeling and adaptive equalization of indoor radio channels

The authors analyze the benefits of using a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) in the indoor radio environment and examine the results of performance predictions for different channel modelings. It is found that a QPSK/DFE modem with second-order diversity can operate at a data rate that is an order of magnitude higher than a QPSK (quadratic-phase-shift-keying) modem without equalization. A given set of measured profiles of the channel impulse response is interpreted using continuous and discrete channel models. The continuous channel model is represented by the delay power spectrum and the discrete channel model by the envelope delay power spectrum and the arrival rate of the paths. The sensitivity of the performance to the shape of the delay power spectrum, and the arrival rate of the paths is analyzed     

Millimetric wavelengths radiowave propagation for line-of-sightindoor microcellular mobile communications

Discusses millimeter waves for indoor microcellular communications. The results of propagation experiments conducted at 60.4 GHz (the oxygen absorption band) and 38.25 GHz to determine multipath characteristics in a number of indoor microcell channels employing omnidirectional antennas are presented. Cumulative distribution functions for received signal envelope, as well as corresponding power spectra are given. In addition, a comparison between the fading statistics measured at 60.4 GHz and 38.25 GHz under similar conditions is made. The change in multipath characteristics due to the presence of different building materials is also illustrated. A ray model is developed to represent indoor microcell propagation by considering a direct ray plus rays which have undergone single and double reflections from the walls. Specular floor-reflected and ceiling-reflected rays are included when the antennas radiation pattern does not preclude them. Using this simple model, the signal variations and the amplitude of reflected rays with respect to the line of sight (LOS) ray as functions of mobile receiver position are predicted and used to assist in interpreting experimental results. Theoretical results are found to be in good agreement with measured ones, with the model also being used to predict structure-induced root mean square (rms) delay spread along receiver routes in an indoor microcell environment. This parameter is a measure of multipath conditions in a mobile radio channel and is inversely proportional to the maximum usable data signalling rate of a channel     

Broadband hybrid model for relay-aided cooperative MIMO power line communication systems

A hybrid model for broadband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay-aided indoor power line communications (PLC) system was proposed in this paper. The proposed model combines the top-down and bottom-up approaches and extends to a two-hop relay-aided cooperative system with variable gain relay in amplify-and-forward (AF) mode. Based on the proposed PLC model and generated channel, the channel statistical characteristics are further investigated in 2MHz - 100MHz bandwidth. Simulated results show that the proposed model overcomes the difficulties that the existing models need a lot of topological information of the network or measurements information. It provides a practical simulation analysis method for cooperative relay MIMO-PLC system. The results also show that cooperative MIMO relaying communications can improve the indoor PLC performances and communication reliability.

High-frequency characteristics of overhead multiconductor power lines for broadband communications

This paper presents a channel model suitable for multiwire overhead medium voltage lines. This model, incorporating ground admittance, is more appropriate at higher frequencies than predicted by Carson's model of 1926. The proposed model is further used to evaluate the multipath channel impulse response and associated capacity limit in sample power distribution grids for applications in broadband over power lines communications. For a sample grid model, comparison is made to the capacity value predicted based on the Carson's model, and it is demonstrated that the older model underestimates the potential of the overhead lines for broadband transmissions, significantly.     

Decision Feedback Channel and Symbol Estimation Methods for CDMA Systems in Indoor Wireless Communications

A dispersive finite impulse response (FIR) channel model is often considered for indoor wireless channels. For the FIR channel model in this paper, we consider the joint estimation of channel parameters and data symbols in indoor code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. The least squares formulation is constructed for the joint estimation incorporating the decision feedback technique. This formulation is suitable for indoor CDMA systems that usually have a small processing gain. The formulation is further modified to provide a recursive approach to estimate the channel vector.     

Innovative model for time-varying power line communication channel response evaluation

This work presents a channel model for the broadband characterization of power lines in presence of time variation of the loads. The model is characterized by taking into account both measured and geometrical channel characteristics and can easily be used to take into account also the presence of noise. The channel is described by a two-port equivalent described by a scattering matrix determined from a wavelet-based expansion of the input and output quantities. Upper and lower bounds for the response of the channel in presence of time-varying loads are determined in a fast and efficient way avoiding time consuming Monte Carlo simulations. The bounds determination allows the estimate of noteworthy quantities for the tuning of currently used modulation schemes for power lines communications such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing.     

MIMO channel capacity and modeling issues on a measured indoor radio channel at 5.8 GHz

Multiple transmitters and receivers can be used to provide high link capacity in future wireless systems. Herein, an analysis of indoor environment multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) measurements in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band at 5.8 GHz is performed and the possible increase in capacity, utilizing multiple transmitters and receivers is examined. The investigation shows that in the measured indoor environment, the scattering is sufficiently rich to provide substantial link capacity increases. Furthermore, the effect of intra-element spacing on the channel capacity is studied. Our investigation also shows that the envelope of the channel coefficients for this obstructed-line-of-sight (OLOS) indoor scenario is approximately Rayleigh distributed and the MIMO channel covariance matrix can be well approximated by a Kronecker product of the covariance matrices describing the correlation at the transmitter side and the receiver side, respectively. A statistical narrowband model for the OLOS indoor MIMO channel based on this covariance structure is presented.
