MIMO Channel Model with Propagation Mechanism and the Properties of Correlation and Eigenvalue in Mobile Environments by Yuuki Kanemiyo, Youhei Tsukamoto, Hiroaki Nakabayashi, Shigeru Kozono

“…The spatial correlation coefficient formula 𝜌𝑖−𝑗,𝑖′−𝑗′(𝑏𝑚) between MIMO channel matrix elements was derived for the model and was expressed as a directive wave term added to the product of mobile site correlation 𝜌𝑖−𝑖′(𝑚) and base site correlation 𝜌𝑗−𝑗′(𝑏) without LOS path, which are calculated independently of each other. By using 𝜌𝑖−𝑗,𝑖′−𝑗′(𝑏𝑚), it is possible to create the channel matrix element with a fixed correlation value estimated by 𝜌𝑖−𝑗,𝑖′−𝑗′(𝑏𝑚) for a given multipath condition and a given antenna configuration. …”
