On the practical use of analytical MIMO channel models

The practical use of so-called analytical models for representing measured and simulated narrowband MIMO channels is discussed with respect to several metrics. Four analytical models are compared (the Kronecker model, the Weichselberger model, the virtual channel representation, and the diagonal-decorrelation model) using several performance metrics. The investigation is based upon indoor experimental results at 5.2 GHz as well as geometry-based statistical propagation models.
