STATISTICAL CHANNEL IMPULSE-RESPONSE MODELS FOR FACTORY AND OPEN PLAN BUILDING RADIO-COMMUNICATION SYSTEM-DESIGN

This paper presents statistical radio channel impulse response models for the analysis and design of wireless factory and open plan office communication systems. The models incorporate first- and second-order statistics to characterize the discrete impulse responses of indoor radio channels for both line-of-sight (LOS) and obstructed (OBS) topographies. The effects of large scale transmitter-receiver (T-R) separation distance, small scale receiver movement, and models for the correlation of multipath component amplitudes over one meter local areas are developed from 1.3 GHz measurements reported in [1]. SIRCIM, a computer simulator based upon the models presented in this paper, has recreated multipath power delay profiles and CW fading profiles that are highly representative of measured data. Large scale models for path loss are implicitly included in this work.
