Xu Du, Ashutosh Sabharwal

摘要:

在实际的传播环境中,不同的大规模MIMO用户可以在空间路径中具有相关的角度。本文通过测量和分析相结合的方法,研究了角度相关性对用户间信道相关性的影响。我们展示了三个关键结果。首先,我们收集了大量的MIMO信道数据集,用于检查真实世界传播环境中的用户间信道相关性;该数据集现在是开放获取的。我们观察到信道相关性高于$0.48$的所有附近的用户。此外,超过$30$ %的远离用户,即使当它们相隔数十个波长时,也具有比i.i.d.瑞利衰落信道其次,我们计算用户间的信道相关性在封闭的形式作为用户间的角度相关性,基站天线的数量,和基站天线间的间距的函数。我们的分析表明,用户间的角度相关性增加了用户间的信道相关性。用户间信道相关性随着基站阵列孔径的增大而减小,即,更多的天线和更大的天线间间隔。第三,我们解释的测量与数值实验表明,用户间的角度相关性可以导致显着的用户间信道相关性在实际的大规模MIMO信道。

英文摘要:

In practical propagation environments, different massive MIMO users can have correlated angles in spatial paths. In this paper, we study the effect of angle correlation on inter-user channel correlation via a combination of measurement and analysis. We show three key results. First, we collect a massive MIMO channel dataset for examining the inter-user channel correlation in a real-world propagation environment; the dataset is now open-access. We observed channel correlation higher than $0.48$ for all close-by users. Additionally, over $30$ % of far-away users, even when they are tens of wavelengths apart, have inter-user channel correlation that is at least twice higher than the correlation in the i.i.d. Rayleigh fading channel. Second, we compute the inter-user channel correlation in closed-form as a function of inter-user angle correlation, the number of base-station antennas, and base-station inter-antenna spacing. Our analysis shows that inter-user angle correlation increases the inter-user channel correlation. Inter-user channel correlation reduces with a larger base-station array aperture, i.e., more antennas and larger inter-antenna spacing. Third, we explain the measurements with numerical experiments to show that inter-user angle correlation can result in significant inter-user channel correlation in practical massive MIMO channels.
