Physical PhenomenaIn a street microcell, multiscattering is dominant
compared to free space path loss.Locus of multiscatterings are parallel lines
symmetric to the middle line of the street.
Proposed ModelThe scattering power diminishes fast in the building zone, along y axis. The attenuation
across the x axis in the street zone has a slower rate.The scattering distribution for 3 zones: street zone, building zones and LoS component
are defined.

Locus ofScatterers
The scattering distribution for the LoS component is a circular disc in which the scattering power is decreasing exponentially from the center (Tx, here MS) along the radial lines. This is to consider the resolution in delay and AoAdomains.

The microcell measurement was carried out in O-okayamacampus of Tokyo Institute of Technology. The MedavRUSK Fujitsu channel sounder was employed to accomplish the measurements.
To simulate the measurement by using ray-tracing output,the array frequency response is constructed as
By incooperating 3D site-specific scenario information, the ray-tracing simulator called “Raplab” is used to predict detailed path parameters.
To trace rays from a source to the observation point, the image method is utilized to find ray paths and angle. The formulation of reflected and diffracted rays are carried out based on geometrical optics (GO), and the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD)

Beamforming is applied in every 6o for the azimuth range (from 0o
to 360o), and for the co-elevation range (from 30o to 150o) according to antenna limitations. The resultant spectrum

The need to model the collection of multipaths that lie in the “same” angle-delay domain, or clusters, is also one of the things needed to approach the full performance advantage of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems for future cellular communications.Properly characterizing clusters (collection of multipaths that lie in the “same” angle-delay domain) is also started by correctly
identifying them.A clustering method is being developed for identifying clusters in an urban macrocell, where wideband MIMO antennas were used.

The propagation environment is important for effect of MIMO. Many studies pertaining to MIMO systems in indoor environments were conducted. A studies pertaining to MIMO system in outdoor environments such as cellular system is required. We plan measurement in outdoor environment for MIMO system.

The propagation environment isimportant for effect of MIMO.
< Channel Modeling >There are a lot of scatterers (buildings in outdoor environment). Rx receive a lot of waves by reflection, diffraction and etc...Propagation environment measurement experiment.
Propagation characteristics that a power profile, a path loss, ashadowing, a Doppler shift are measured.
The measurement experiment in an outdoor environment of urban area is conducted by setting up the antenna to outside or inside the vehicle.A measurement equipment for 2×2 MIMO system is like a TDM.A antenna setting is a space diversity.A center frequency is 3.35GHz.
< Measurement Scenario >
UWB signals have relative bandwidth larger than 20% or absolute bandwidth of more than 500MHz. This property allows extremely accurate location estimates using time-based techniques via UWB radios.The time of arrival (TOA) data fusion method is based on
combining estimates of the TOA of the MS signal when arriving at three different BSs. An important source of error is in the case where there is no
line of sight from the mobile station to the BSs.A geometrically constrained data fusion scheme could be used
to reduce the effect of such NLOS conditions. the constraint can be the distances between the BSs. xm
Hybrid localization method can be used to have a more accurate location estimate. linear combination of more than oneschemes (for example; ToA and AoA) can be done.

Estimated locations of transmitters at 50-m distance location
Estimated locations of transmitters at 10-m distance location
• The performance is verified by the outdoor experiment estimating the transmitter (car) position in the racing car circuit.
•For 10-m distance location, the accurate estimated location can be observed,while it is not so for 50-m distance location, in case of P150 and P250.
•The proposed method works well for interpolating in the short distance.
• Instead of using the measured signal subspace to construct the database, the interpolated signal subspaces obtained by priori known signal subspaces are used. (The subspace matching is an algorithm to estimate the transmitter location by matching two signal subspaces.)
• Most of today's radio systems are not aware of their radio spectrum environment and operate in a specific frequency band using a specific spectrum access system.
• Many channels in the TV band are significantly underutilized.
