Winner Ii Channel Models Authors Partner Name Phone / Fax / E-mail

This deliverable describes WINNER II channel models for link and system level simulations. Both generic and clustered delay line models are defined for selected propagation scenarios. Disclaimer: The channel models described in this deliverable are based on a literature survey and measurements performed during this project. The authors are not responsible for any loss, damage or expenses caused by potential errors or inaccuracies in the models or in the deliverable. Executive Summary This deliverable presents WINNER II channel models for link level and system level simulations of local area, metropolitan area, and wide area wireless communication systems. The models have been evolved from the WINNER I channel models described in WINNER I deliverable D5.4 and WINNER II interim channel models described in deliverable D1.1.1. The covered propagation scenarios are indoor office, large indoor hall, indoor-to-outdoor, urban micro-cell, bad urban micro-cell, outdoor-to-indoor, stationary feeder, suburban macro-cell, urban macro-cell, rural macro-cell, and rural moving networks. The generic WINNER II channel model follows a geometry-based stochastic channel modelling approach, which allows creating of an arbitrary double directional radio channel model. The channel models are antenna independent, i.e., different antenna configurations and different element patterns can be inserted. The channel parameters are determined stochastically, based on statistical distributions extracted from channel measurement. The distributions are defined for, e.g., delay spread, delay values, angle spread, shadow fading, and cross-polarisation ratio. For each channel snapshot the channel parameters are calculated from the distributions. Channel realisations are generated by summing contributions of rays with specific channel parameters like delay, power, angle-of-arrival and angle-of-departure. Different scenarios are modelled by using the same approach, but different parameters. The parameter tables for each scenario are included in this deliverable. Clustered delay line (CDL) models with fixed large-scale and small-scale parameters have also been created for calibration and comparison of different simulations. The parameters of the CDL models are based on expectation values of the generic models. Several measurement campaigns provide the background for the parameterisation of the propagation scenarios for both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) conditions. These measurements were conducted by seven partners with different devices. The developed models are based on both literature and extensive measurement campaigns that have been carried out within the WINNER I and WINNER II projects. The novel features of the WINNER models are its parameterisation, using of the same modelling approach for both indoor and outdoor environments, new scenarios like outdoor-to-indoor and indoor-to-outdoor, …
