    Modelling Wireless Channels-An Intro: Sudheesh P G Dept of E&C, MIT

    Uploaded by

    Shivaram Nagarajan
    The document introduces wireless channel modeling. It discusses that wireless channels vary over time and space due to multipath propagation effects like reflection, diffraction and scattering. Multipath leads to constructive or destructive addition of signals arriving at different delays, causing fading. The document describes parameters like coherence time, delay spread and Doppler spread that characterize time-varying nature of wireless channels. It explains the difference between narrowband and wideband channels and how multipath components are resolved in each case.

    Why?

    • For better understanding of “nature” of wireless environment

    • Quantitatively analyze performance of wireless communication


    system.

    • Deterministic channels are rarely available, Sol: model the channel


    What can cause variation in channel
    • Multipath
    • Building
    • Trees etc
    • Change in location

    • Constructive
    Or destructive addition
    • LOS and NLOS component
    • Single pulse may appear as a pulse train at receiver
    • Multipath -Amplitude, delay, number of multipaths
    Delay spread
    • Transmit single pulse
    • Delay spread- time b/w arrival of first and last pulse
    • Can be LOS or NLOS

    • Less Delay spread-little time spreading in the received signal


    • High delay spread-substantial signal distortion
    • Compare delay spread with inverse of signal bandwidth
    Time varying nature
    • Either transmitter or receiver is moving
    • Multi paths will change Coherence time

    • Channel variations can be fast or slow


    Narrowband vs wideband
    • Two multipaths are resolvable only if the difference between them
    exceeds inverse signal bandwidth

      1 / Bu   1 / Bu

     1  2
    t t
    Narrowband Wideband
    Doppler effect
    Time varying channel impulse response

    • s(t) : transmitted signal- band pass signal


    • u(t) : low pass equivalent of s(t)

    • n=0 LOS path


    • τn is the delay with each path
    • αnis the amplitude
    • φDn is the Doppler phase shift
    Diagram
    • Lets assume that the transmitter and receiver are static,
    Narrowband vs wideband
    • Variation is fast in narrowband as multiple reflections joins to form
    one single path-that path may appear like large scale fading

    • In wideband variation is slow and each path if from separate


    scatterers.
    • Effect of delay term and Doppler is combined in φn
    Channel output
    Time varying impulse response
    • LTI channel
    Q1
    Effect of path delay-fading
    • Rapid phase changes in each multipath component- constructive or
    destructive addition.
    • Rapid variation in received signal strength
    Delay -contd
    Tm is delay spread

    • Demodulator is synchronized to LOS component at τ0


    𝜏
    • Or synchronized to mean delay ´
     

    Discard lower power multipath


    components
    Q1:Max delay spread
    Channel delay spread-average, rms delay
    spread
    less distance
    • Indoor- 10-1000 ns
    • Suburban- 20-2000 ns Less objects

    • Urban-1-30 μs

    • Reason?????
    Narrowband fading
