Autoregressive modeling of wide-band indoor radio propagation

Based on frequency domain measurements in the 0.9-1.1-GHz band, an autoregressive model for the frequency response of the indoor radio channel is introduced. It is shown that a second-order process is sufficient to represent the important statistical characteristics of the channel both in the frequency domain and the time domain where each pole identifies the arrival of a cluster of paths. A comparison is made between the statistical characteristics of the empirical data and of the channel responses regenerated from the second-order AR processes. Four methods to regenerate the indoor radio channel responses from a second-order AR model are proposed. The accuracy of the methods is examined by comparing the cumulative distribution functions of the RMS delay spread and the 3-dB width of the frequency correlation function with that of the measurements performed in global, local, and mixed indoor radio propagation experiments. >
