Statistical Description of Multipath Fading
The basic Rayleigh / Ricean model gives the PDF of envelope But: how fast does the signal fade? How wide in bandwidth are fades?
Typical system engineering questions: What is an appropriate packet duration, to avoid fades? How much ISI will occur? For frequency diversity, how far should one separate carriers? How far should one separate antennas for diversity? What is good a interleaving depth? What bit rates work well? Why can't I connect an ordinary modem to a cellular phone?
The models discussed in the following sheets will provide insight in these issues

The Mobile Radio Propagation Channel

Two distinct mechanisms
1.) Time dispersion Time variations of the channel are caused by motion of the antenna Channel changes every half a wavelength Moving antenna gives Doppler spread Fast fading requires short packet durations, thus high bit rates Time dispersion poses requirements on synchronization and rate of convergence of
channel estimation Interleaving may help to avoid burst errors
2.) Frequency dispersion Delayed reflections cause intersymbol interference Channel Equalization may be needed. Frequency selective fading Multipath delay spreads require long symbol times Frequency diversity or spread spectrum may help

Time dispersion of narrowband signal (single frequency)
Transmit: cos(2 fc t)
Receive: I(t) cos(2 fc t) + Q(t) sin(2 fc t)= R(t) cos(2 fc t + )
I-Q phase trajectory
• As a function of time, I(t) and Q(t) follow a random trajectory through the complex plane
• Intuitive conclusion: Deep amplitude fades coincide with large phase rotations

Doppler shift and Doppler spread
• All reflected waves arrive from a different angle• All waves have a different Doppler shift
The Doppler shift of a particular wave is cos f c cv
= f 0
Maximum Doppler shift: fD = fc v / c
Joint Signal Model
• Infinite number of waves
• First find distribution of angle of arrival,
then compute distribution of Doppler shifts
• Uniform distribution of angle of arrival : f() = 1/2
• Line spectrum goes into continuous spectrum Calculate
JPL 8
Doppler Spectrum
If one transmits a sinusoid, …what are the frequency components in the received signal?
Power density spectrum versus received frequency
Probability density of Doppler shift versus received
frequency
The Doppler spectrum has a characteristic U-shape.
Note the similarity with sampling a randomly-phased
sinusoid
No components fall outside interval [fc- fD, fc+ fD]
Components of + fD or -fD appear relatively often
Fades are not entirely “memory-less”

How do systems handle Doppler Spreads?
• Analog Carrier frequency is low enough to avoid problems (random FM)
• GSM Channel bit rate well above Doppler spread TDMA during each bit / burst transmission the channel is fairly constant. Receiver training/updating during each transmission burst Feedback frequency correction
• DECT Intended to pedestrian use: only small Doppler spreads are to be anticipated for.
• IS95 Downlink: Pilot signal for synchronization and channel estimation Uplink: Continuous tracking of each signal

Autocorrelation of the signal
We now know the Doppler spectrum,
but ... how fast does the channel change?
Wiener-Kinchine Theorem:
Power density spectrum of a random signal is the Fourier Transform
of its autocorrelation Inverse Fourier Transform of Doppler spectrum gives autocorrelation
of I(t), or of Q(t)

Simulation of multipath channels
Jakes' Simulator for narrowband channel
generate the two bandpass “noise” components by adding many sinusoidal signals. Their frequencies are non-uniformly distributed to approximate the typical U-shaped Doppler spectrum.
N Frequency components are taken at
2fi = fm cos -------- 2(2N+1)
with i = 1, 2, .., N
All amplitudes are taken equal to unity. One component at the maximum Doppler shift is also added, but at amplitude of 1/sqrt(2), i.e., at about 0.707 . Jakes suggests to use 8 sinusoidal signals. Approximation (orange)
of the U-Doppler spectrum (Black)

How to handle fast multipath fading?
Analog User must speak slowly
GSM Error correction and interleaving to avoid burst errors Error detection and speech decoding Fade margins in cell planning
DECT Diversity reception at base station
IS95 Wideband transmission averages channel behaviour This avoids burst errors and deep fades
Frequency Dispersion
JPL 23
Frequency Dispersion
• Frequency dispersion is caused by
the delay spread of the channel
• Frequency dispersion has no relation
to the velocity of the antenna

Typical Values of Delay Spreads
Macrocells TRMS < 8 sec
• GSM (256 kbit/s) uses an equalizer
• IS-54 (48 kbit/s): no equalizer
• In mountanous regions delays of 8 sec and more occur
GSM has some problems in Switzerland
Microcells TRMS < 2 sec
• Low antennas (below tops of buildings)
JPL 27
Typical values of delay spreadPicocells 1 .. 2 GHz:
TRMS < 50 nsec - 300 nsec
• Home 50 nsec
• Shopping mall 100 - 200 nsec
• Railway station 200 - 450 nsec
• Office block 100 - 400 nsec
• Indoor: often 50 nsec is assumed
• DECT (1 Mbit/s) works well up to 90 nsec
Outdoors, DECT has problem if range > 200 .. 500
JPL 28
Typical Delay Profiles
1) Exponential
2) Uniform Delay Profile
Experienced on some indoorchannels
Often approximated by N-RayChannel
3) Bad Urban
For a bandlimited signal, one may sample the delay profile. This give a tapped delay line model for the channel, with constant delay times

How do systems handle delay spreads?

DECT Use the handset only in small cells with small delay spreads Diversity and channel selection can help a little bit
“pick a channel where late reflections are in a fade”

delays

Coherence BandwidthDefinition: Coherence. Bandwidth is the frequency separation for which the
correlation coefficient is down from 1 to 0.5 Thus 1 = 2(f1 - f2) TRMS
so Coherence Bandwidth BW = 1 (2 TRMS)
We derived this for an exponential delay profile
Another rule of thumb:
ISI affects BER if Tb > 0.1TRMS
Conclusion: Either keep transmission bandwidth much smaller than the coherence
bandwidth of the channel, or use signal processing to overcome ISI, e.g. Equalization DS-CDMA with rake OFDM

Two state model
Very simple mode: channel has two-states Good state: Signal above “threshold”, BER is virtually zero Poor state: “Signal outage”, BER is 1/2, receiver falls out of sync, etc
Markov model approach: Memory-less transistions Exponential distribution of sojourn time
This model may be sufficiently realistic for many investigations

Optimal Packet length
We want to optimize
#User bitsEffective throughput = ---------------- Prob(success)
#Packet bits
This requires a trade off between
Short packets: much overhead (headers, sync. words etc).
Long packets:may experience fade before end of packet.
JPL 58
Optimal Packet length
At 1200 bit/s, throughput is virtually zero:Almost all packets run into a fade. Packets are too long
At high bit rates, many packets can be exchanged during non-fadeperiods. Intuition:
Packet duration < < Av. nonfade duration

Conclusion
• The multipath channel is characterized by two effects: Time and Frequency Dispersion
• Time Dispersion effects are proportional to speed and carrier frequency
• System designer need to anticipate for channel anomalies

Statistical properties of a Rayleigh signal
Parameter Probability Distribution
I(t1) and Q(t1) i.i.d. Gaussian, Zero mean
I(t1) and Q(t2) Correlated jointly Gaussian
I(t2) given I(t1) Gaussian
Amplitude rRayleigh
rgivenrRicean
r’derivative r Gaussian, Independent of amplitude
Phase Uniform
Derivative of Phase Gaussian, Dependent on amplitude
Power Exponential
The nice thing about jointly Gaussian r.v.s is that the covariance matrix fully describes the behavior
JPL 64
Taylor Expansion of Amplitude
• Rewrite the Channel Model as follows
• Tayler expansion of the amplitude
• gn(t) = gn(0)+ gn
(1) (t-t) + gn(2) (t-t)2/2 + .. .
• gn(q) : the q-th derivative of amplitude wrt time, at instant t = t.
• gn(p) is a complex Gaussian random variable
• To address frequency separation ns (later):

Doppler Multipath Channel
Simplified baseband model for narrowband linear modulation
Received signal r(t) = an g(t) + n(t), with time-varying channel amplitude g(t)
Channel model:
Iw reflected waves, each has the following properties:
• Di is the amplitude
I is the Doppler shift
• Ti is the path delay
Note g(t) is not an impulse response;
It is the channel amplification and phase
Signal parameters:• linear modulation • an is the user data• c is the carrier frequency
• n(t) is the noise

Random Complex-Gaussian Amplitude
It can be shown that for p + q is even
and 0 for p + q is odd.
• This defines the covariance matrix of subcarrier amplitudes and derivatives,
• OFDM: allows system modeling and simulation between the input of the transmit I-FFT and output of the receive FFT.
