IEEE TANSACTIONS ON WIELESS COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 6, NO. 8, AUGUST 7 759 An Extended One-ing MIMO Channel Model Min Zhang, Peter J. Smith, and Mansoor Shafi Abstract In this paper we develop a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channel model and derive its spatial and temporal correlation properties. We present a generalized methodology to derive the spatial correlation when the angles of arrival (AoA) and angles of departure (AoD) are either independent or partly correlated. Our model therefore spans the full range from well-established single ring models, where AoA and AoD are fully correlated to complex industrial channel models where they are uncorrelated. It is shown that first order and second order approximations to the channel give rise to a single- Kronecermodel and a sum-kronecermodel respectively. We compare our model to other MIMO channel models in terms of correlation structure and the ergodic mutual information (EMI) and study the effect of the non-kronecer correlation structure. Index Terms MIMO, channel models, mutual information, Kronecer model. I. INTODUCTION THE number of MIMO channel models available in the literature is rapidly growing [] [5] and their complexity is increasing [5], [6]. Many of these models have the now well-nown Kronecer form [], [3], [4] and result from the assumption of separate scattering mechanisms at the base station () and the mobile station (MS). In this paper we refer to this form as a single-kronecer structure to differentiate it from an alternative form we call a sum-kronecer structure. We refer to a sum-kronecerstructure when the correlation matrix can be expressed as the sum of two or more Kronecer products. Although a single-kronecermodel is popular and shows good agreement with some measured data [3], [7], its accuracy has been questioned [4], [8] []. These papers propose that the single-kronecer model is mainly suitable for MIMO systems with small number of antenna elements and it underestimates the ergodic mutual information (EMI) when compared to measurement data. Commonly used onering models [], [], [], [] are by their nature non- Kronecer, since the scattering mechanisms are lined. For these one-ring models, the angle of departure of a ray uniquely determines the angle of arrival. This observation motivates the development of a model which will bridge the gap between one-ring models, where AoD and AoA are fully correlated, Manuscript received August 9, 5; revised October 5, 6 and April 6, 7; accepted May, 7.

Digital Object Identifier.9/TWC.7.5659. 536-76/7$5. c 7 IEEE and models where AoD and AoA may only be loosely related and a single-kronecerstructure is plausible. In this paper, we develop such a model, always bearing in mind a desire for mathematical simplicity, physical reality and ease of generation. The model builds on the approach proposed by Abdi and Kaveh []. Two approximations to the new model are studied which give particularly simple single- Kronecerand sum-kronecerstructures. The new model is then compared to standard one-ring models and Kronecer models. The EMI of the MIMO lin is also considered and we show the relationship between EMI, antenna orientation and the level of correlation between AoD and AoA. The main contributions of the paper are the following. An extension of the one-ring model is developed which allows for varying degrees of correlation between AoA and AoD. An approximation of this model provides a simple sum- Kronecerstructure which is more general than the traditional single-kronecerformat. New results are also presented for the spatial correlation at the which agree with SCM3 [5] but decay more rapidly and with less oscillation than the correlation predicted by one-ring models. Finally, we discuss the effect of non-kronecer correlation structures on EMI. We show that non-kronecer correlation does not necessarily increase the EMI as previously reported [], []. Note that although the results presented here assume a uniform distribution for the direction of motion of the MS, the model itself has no such restriction. II. MIMO LINK MODEL AND SPATIAL/TEMPOAL COELATION FUNCTIONS In [7] it was shown that the single-kronecer model accurately represents the general scattering environment when AoA and AoD are independent. Using the single-kronecer model gives rise to virtual separation between AoA and AoD even when the actual communication lin between AoA and AoD is inseparable, ie. correlated. Hence, in this section we present a model which caters for channels with varying degrees of correlation between AoA and AoD, ranging from non-correlated to fully correlated. The model is further approximated by a sum- Kronecer form where the number of Kronecer products in the sum determines the accuracy of the approximation. A. Model Interpretation Let us consider the downlin of an (n t,n r ) wireless MIMO system with n t and n r MS omnidirectional antenna elements, shown in Fig.. Here the is the transmitter and the MS is the receiver. The MS is surrounded by a large number of local scatterers with a given distribution. The relationship between the lin distance D and the radius of the scatterer ring is determined by Δ, thatistan(δ) = /D.

76 IEEE TANSACTIONS ON WIELESS COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 6, NO. 8, AUGUST 7 dss' s ' s θ d si ' d si D S i MS u' d iu θi,aoa Y θ v MS u θ MS Fig.. Schematic diagram of the new MIMO channel model for a downlin system. We will assume that D. The MS moves with speed v and the direction of motion is θ v. The ring of scatterers is assumed to be fixed so that the accuracy of the spatialtemporal correlations given by the model are most reliable for short periods of time ( /v). We do not consider line-of-sight (LOS) in the system since one of our main aims is to analyze the separability of the channel correlation structure and a LOS path fundamentally ties the MS and effects. For example, McNamara et al. [3] have found the single-kronecerstructure to be reasonable only under NLOS propagation. In our model, each AoA is not associated with one specified AoD as in one-ring models [], instead, an AoA is associated with a cluster of M subpaths (AoDs) with given power azimuth spectrum (PAS). Physically, we assume that a particular subpath leaves the s th array element s in the direction of θi,aod, which is defined as the angle between the th subpath and the x-axis, impinging on the u th array element, MS u, in the direction of θ i,aoa after being scattered by S i and combining. We only model a single ray at the MS which can be interpreted as a sum over subrays from scatterer S i. B. The General Spatial-Temporal Correlation Function For the downlin system in Fig., a mathematical representation for the propagation model is given below, using a similar derivation to that in [], h su (t) = lim lim N M N M ( ) } g i g () i exp jψi jπd si λ () i= = ( exp jπd ) iu + jπf D cos(θ i,aoa θ v )t λ where h su (t) is the channel coefficient and H(t) =(h su (t)) is the channel matrix. Other parameters in () are defined below. N is the number of scatterers, g i is the wave amplitude of the ith path where N i= g i = as N. Each path is the sum of M subpaths; g () i is the wave amplitude of the th subpath of the ith path where M = g() i = as M. The two power normalizations ensure that the mean power of the channel coefficient is unity. Note that the g i amplitude refers to the single path from scatterer i to the MS. The g () i amplitudes relate to the M sub-paths from the X to the scatterer. ψi are the phase shifts introduced by the scatterers and are assumed to be independent and identically distributed (iid) uniform variables over [, π). d si and d iu are the distances from s to S i and from S i to MS u respectively. Finally, f D = v/λ is the maximum Doppler shift. As in [], the summation over many paths leads to a Gaussian channel coefficient and so we have a ayleigh channel. For a fixed direction of motion, θ v, we define the temporalspatial correlation function for the channel coefficients as ρ su,s u (τ,θ v) = E[h su (t)h s u (t + τ)]. We note that E[exp(jψi jψ i )] = for i = i and = and is zero otherwise. Therefore, ρ su,s u (τ,θ v) can be written as ρ su,s u (τ,θ v) = lim lim N M N M ( E[gi ] E[(g () i ) ]exp jπ ) } λ (d si d s i) i= = ( exp jπ ) λ (d iu d iu ) jπf D cos(θ i,aoa θ v )τ In (), the spatial and temporal correlations are intertwined. Hence it can not be simply broen down into a product of temporal, transmit and receive terms. C. The Correlation Function Assuming a von Mises PAS Now we use the von-mises PAS at both ends following [], [4]. The von Mises PAS is given by exp[κ cos(θ θ)] f(θ) =, θ [, π) (3) πi (κ) where I is the zeroth-order modified Bessel function and κ controls the width of angle spread (AS) defined as the root mean square of the angles. In fact, the AS, in radians, equals / κ for large κ, with κ =giving a uniform spread of angles over 36 (4 AS) and κ = giving a ray at the single angle θ. Note that (3) has a different interpretation at the two ends. At the, the PAS refers to the sub-paths from the source to a scatterer. Hence, κ controls the spread of the sub-paths. At the MS end, κ MS controls the spread of the scatterers as it refers to the paths received at the MS, one from each scatterer. θ is the mean direction and signals coming from this direction have maximum power assuming the von Mises PAS. Hence, θ AoA represents the direction of the strongest incoming wave from the N scatterers seen by the user. Moreover, θ i,aod is the mean value of θi,aod and is also the direction of the strongest incoming sub-path seen from a specified scatterer S i, which can be determined by θ i,aoa.asd and Δ /D is small, θ i,aod can be simplified as below [] θ i,aod sin( θ i,aod ) /D sin(θ i,aoa ) Δsin(θ i,aoa ) (4) Using (4) it suffices to specify θ AoA and κ MS, since these parameters allow θ i,aoa to be generated and this gives θ i,aod. Hence, it is not necessary to specify θ i,aod. In order to determine the power of any path or subpath, consider that the infinitesimal power comes from the differential angle dθ and its corresponding power distribution function, ()

IEEE TANSACTIONS ON WIELESS COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 6, NO. 8, AUGUST 7 76 f(θ), so that E[(g i ) ] = f(θ i )dθ i []. Hence, the power of every path or subpath with the von Mises PAS and the approximation (4) is given by E[(g i ) ]= exp[κ MS cos(θ i,aoa θ AoA )] dθ i,aoa πi (κ MS ) E[(g () i ) ]= exp[κ cos(θi,aod θ i,aod )] dθi,aod πi (κ ) exp[κ cos(θi,aod Δsin(θ i,aoa))] dθi,aod πi (κ ) (5) The larger the value of κ, the narrower the cluster of subpaths will be and the power of these subpaths will concentrate around the mean direction. As κ, they will converge into one ray and mae AoA and AoD fully correlated. In other words, the larger the value of κ, the higher the correlation between AoA and AoD. Further simplification occurs under the sensible physical scenario where D d ss and d uu [5] and d ss, d uu are the distances between antennas s and s and between MS antennas u and u respectively. In this situation, using Fig., we have π λ (d si d s i ) D ss sin(θ i,aod θ ) (6) π λ (d iu d iu ) D uu sin(θ i,aoa θ MS ) where D ss = πd ss /λ and D uu = πd uu /λ are the distances between the antenna elements in wavelengths. Substituting equations (5) and (6) into () and defining D t = πf D τ, the correlation averaged over AoA and AoD can be expressed as ρ su,s u (τ,θ π π v) πi (κ ) πi (κ MS ) exp jd ss sin(θi,aod θ ) + κ cos(θi,aod Δsin(θ i,aoa)))} (7) exp jd uu sin(θ i,aoa θ MS ) + κ MS cos(θ i,aoa θ AoA )} exp jd t cos(θ i,aoa θ v )}d(θ i,aoa )d(θi,aod) Since Δ is small, we are able to use the approximations, cos(δ sin(θ i,aoa )) and sin(δ sin(θ i,aoa )) Δsin(θ i,aoa ), in (7). This gives ρ su,s u (τ,θ π π v) πi (κ ) πi (κ MS ) exp jd ss sin(θi,aod θ ) + κ cos(θi,aod))} exp jd uu sin(θ i,aoa θ MS ) + κ MS cos(θ i,aoa θ AoA )} expκ Δsin(θ i,aoa )sin(θi,aod )} exp jd t cos(θ i,aoa θ v )}d(θ i,aoa )d(θi,aod) We can often assume that θ v is an independent variable with uniform distribution over [, π). This leads to the well nown Bessel function term J (D t ) after taing expectation over (8) θ v. Therefore the spatial-temporal correlation coefficient after averaging over θ v is given by ρ su,s u (τ) = π ρ su,s u π (τ,θ v)dθ v π π J (D t ) πi (κ ) πi (κ MS ) exp jd ss sin(θi,aod θ )+κ cos(θi,aod ))} exp jd uu sin(θ i,aoa θ MS )+κ MS cos(θ i,aoa θ AoA )} expκ Δsin(θ i,aoa )sin(θi,aod )}d(θ i,aoa)d(θi,aod ) (9) Note that (9) has 4 types of terms. The first term, J (D t ), represents average temporal correlation, so that we can isolate the channel temporal behavior from the spatial correlation. The second term is the exponential containing parameters which represents spatial correlation at the. Similarly, the third term is the the exponential containing MS parameters which represents spatial correlation at the MS. The last term, expκ Δsin(θ i,aoa )sin(θi,aod )}, represents the interaction between AoA and AoD and its effect on the correlation. This is the factor which maes it impossible to separate the spatial correlation into a product of MS and terms. Equation (9) gives the full correlation structure for the model. D. Temporal Correlation Function Equation (8) shows that for a fixed direction of motion the temporal correlation structure of the channel model is inseparable from the spatial structure and is affected by several parameters. If we loo at the temporal correlation at the same antennas (D ss =,D uu = ) and assume Δ is small so that κ Δsin(θ AoA )sin(θ AoD ), then (8) can be approximated as ρ su,s u (τ,θ v) I ( κ MS D t jκ MS D t cos ( θaoa θ v ) ) I (κ MS ) () Therefore, the temporal correlation given by () is related to the AoA distribution and the direction of motion. If the distribution of AoA is isotropic (κ MS =), () gives the familiar temporal correlation function ρ su,su (τ,θ v )=J (D t ). If the distribution of AoA is nonisotropic (κ MS ), the temporal correlation will vary with different directions of motion. E. Correlation structure based on a series expansion Computation of (9) requires double numerical integration and for this reason we prefer to investigate approximations based on the series expansion: expκ Δsin(θ i,aoa )sin(θi,aod)} +κ Δsin(θ i,aoa )sin(θi,aod) () We define the zeroth-order and first-order approximations as resulting from taing or terms in the above series

76 IEEE TANSACTIONS ON WIELESS COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 6, NO. 8, AUGUST 7 expansion respectively. With these approximations the correlation function in (9) can be simplified considerably using the standard results [3.937, p.488, [6]] π ( ) exp(p cos x + q sin x)dx =πi p + q π exp(p cos x + q sin x)sinxdx = q ( ) π p + q I p + q () Using (), the zeroth-order approximation of (9) is ρ su,s u (τ) J (D t ) I ( p + q ) I ( p MS + q MS ) I (κ ) I (κ MS ) = J (D t ) ( ( ) )ss MS uu (3) and the first-order approximation is ρ su,s u (τ) J (D t ) I ( p + q ) I ( p MS + q MS ) I (κ ) I (κ MS ) Δκ q I ( } p + J (D t ) + q ) p + q I (κ ) q MS I ( } p MS + q MS ) p MS + qms I (κ MS ) = J (D t ) [( ( ) )ss MS + ( ( ] uu )ss MS )uu (4) where p = κ + jd ss sin(θ ) q = jd ss cos(θ ) p MS = κ MS cos( θ AoA )+jd uu sin(θ MS ) q MS = κ MS sin( θ AoA ) jd uu cos(θ MS ) and ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ), ss, ss MS, uu MS are the uu entries of channel correlation matrix,, MS, MS respectively. I is the first-order modified Bessel function. F. Channel correlation matrix For the zeroth order approximation, (3) gives rise to a single-kronecerresult for the channel correlation matrix, H (τ) =E(vec(H(t))vec(H(t + τ)) ),asbelow ( ) H (τ) =J (D t ) MS (5) For the first order approximation a sum-kronecerform is given: ( ) H (τ) =J (D t ) MS + MS (6) In (5) and (6), is defined as the Kronecer product and the correlation matrices, MS,, MS are Hermitian matrices defined by (3) and (4). It is interesting that the new model collapses to a single- Kronecermodel when the zero order approximation is used and the first order approximation retains the correlation between AoD and AoA via a second Kronecer term. Hence the model encapsulates the AoD-AoA correlation with a logical extension of the single-kronecerto a sum-kronecerform and retains a similar concise mathematical structure.

Unless otherwise stated, we assume that n t = n r =8, Δ=, θ AoA =, θ = θ MS =, d ss = λ, d uu =.5λ, SN =db. Two angle spreads are considered at the MS end, κ MS =.5 and κ MS =3.5, corresponding to angle spreads of about 88 and 34 which fall in the range of values used in [4]. At the end, we use κ = or κ = 5. Simulation of SCM3 [5] for the suburban macro scenario gives a very similar value to κ =. These values correspond to an AS of about 6 (for κ = ) and3 (for κ = 5). Note that the AS of 6 is at the high end for most practical scenarios. Also, the model loses its physical interpretation for high AS values at the, since we assume that D. This corresponds to a small AS and a high value of κ. Hence, we restrict ourselves to drawing conclusions in the region κ >. A. Temporal Correlation Figure shows that when κ MS is non-zero, each different angle of velocity for the MS gives a different temporal correlation function. The five temporal correlation functions shown have velocities with directions randomly selected from a uniform distribution over 36. When a large number of such uniformly distributed directions is considered, the average temporal correlation function matches the familiar Bessel function as predicted by the theory. B. Spatial Correlation Firstly we compare the new sum-kronecer MIMO model (4) with the one-ring model in []. Based on our new model, we have ρ, () = I ( κ D ss ) I (κ ) ρ, () = I ( κ MS D uu ) (7) I (κ MS )

C. Approximation Order In order to show that the zeroth-order and first-order approximations are reasonable, we compare the full correlation (9) (no series expansion) with (3) (the zeroth-order approximation) and (4) (the first-order approximation) in an (8,8) MIMO system. The relative error between an approximated correlation matrix and the full correlation matrix (without series expansion) is defined as / where. is the Frobenius norm. The results are shown in Fig. 4. We can see that the first-order approximation is considerably closer than the zeroth-order approximation and has lower approximation error. It also shows that the larger the value of κ, the larger the errors will be. Therefore, a single-kronecerstructure is more suited for MIMO systems with small correlation between AoA and AoD and in all cases, a first-order approximation will improve the accuracy of the model. Note that the results in Fig. 4 match typically used values and are physically sensible in the region κ >. elative error (/%) 3 5 5 zeroth order approximation first order approximation D. Ergodic Mutual Information of the MIMO System If we use a single-kronecerstructure (3), the channel matrix is given by H(t) =( MS ) U (t)( ) T (9) where is the matrix square root of a Hermitian matrix, superscript T denotes transpose and U (.) is an iid Gaussian channel matrix generated by the Jaes Model with zero mean and unit magnitude variance. This standard generation method wors for the zeroth order approximation as (.) is Hermitian non-negative definite.

The one-ring model shows large oscillating correlations at the even for large antenna spacings. The new model suggests that the correlation will decrease roughly exponentially, the speed of decay is related to the value of κ and the pronounced oscillations are absent. This type of result agrees with simulations of the SCM3 model [5] and also measured data [7]. the first order approximation a complication arises since (.) can have negative eigenvalues. Hence we use an equivalent structure which avoids this problem. Using this approach the channel matrix for the first order approximation is H(t) =( MS ) ( MS U (t) ) T ( + MS + ) ( MS U (t) + ) T () It can be shown that the matrices of the form (.) ± (.) may still have negative eigenvalues but they are negligible compared to the other dominant eigenvalues in the Schur decomposition. Hence we can remove them by zeroing these small negative eigenvalues and mae the correlation matrices non-negative definite with almost no loss in accuracy. The EMI of the MIMO system is denoted by I and is given by [ ( I = E log det I + SN )]} HH () n t where superscript denotes the transpose conjugate. The EMI difference is defined as the EMI difference between the single-kronecerand sum-kronecerstructures for a MIMO system with specified orientations of the and the MS (I(single-Kronecer) I(sum-Kronecer)). When the orientations are uniformly distributed over [, π), we can simulate the probability density functions (pdfs) of the EMI difference

Spatial correlations at the derived from the new model are substantially different to those in [] but agree with those in [5]. In particular, the spatial correlation decays smoothly with antenna spacing and is negligible at high spacings. Finally, using the new model we show that non-kronecer correlation does not necessarily increase the EMI as previously reported. Our results demonstrate that EMI can be increased or decreased depending on the orientation and the correlation between AoA and AoD. ecall, that these conclusions are based on the assumption of a uniformly distributed direction of motion...8.6.4...4 EMI Difference (bps/hz) Fig. 5. EMI difference between the single-kronecer and sum-kronecer correlation structure. for different values of κ and κ MS as shown in Fig. 5. Each simulated histogram in Fig. 5 is generated from, channel realizations. The results show that changing κ MS with thesamevalueofκ has only a small effect on the location of the EMI difference compared to the effects. We also see that the single-kronecerstructure normally underestimates the EMI compared to the sum-kronecerstructure when the correlation of AoA and AoD is large (κ = 5). The higher value of κ corresponds to a higher correlation between AoA and AoD. This shows clearly the benefit of the second Kronecer term in the sum-kronecercorrelation structure for the scenarios with correlated AoA and AoD rays. However, when such correlation is small, the sum-kronecercorrelation structure may overestimate or underestimate the EMI with almost equal probability. The beneficial impact of non-kronecer channel correlation on MIMO EMI has been reported in [], [] but this may be too optimistic. If AoD and AoA are only loosely related, the additional channel correlation may be beneficial or detrimental depending on the orientations of the and MS. Hence, in a mobile scenario where no particular orientations are dominant the effect of the non-kronecer correlation may be negligible. Therefore, the single-kronecermodel tends to systematically underestimate the EMI only when the correlation of AoA and AoD is strong. IV. CONCLUSION In this paper we have derived an extension to the popular one-ring model in [], []. The new model allows for varying degrees of correlation between the AoD and AoA of the departing and arriving rays and bridges the gap between Kronecer models and non-kronecer one-ring models. Approximations to the new model give rise to a zeroth order single-kronecerapproximation and a first order sum-kronecerapproximation. Hence the correlation structure remains mathematically concise for both approximations and EFEENCES [] D. Shiu, G. J. Foschini, M. J. Gans, and J. M.
