Statistical channel impulse response models for factory and open plan building radio communicate system design

Statistical radio channel impulse response models are presented 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 separation distance, small-scale receiver movement, and models for the correlation of multipath component amplitudes over 1 m local areas are developed from 1.3 GHz measurements. SIRCIM, a computer simulator based on the models presented, has recreated multipath power delay profiles and CW fading profiles that are representative of measured data. Large-scale models for path loss are implicitly included in this work.<>
