Analysis and Realization on MIMO Channel Model

In order to build the MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) channel model based on IEEE 802.16, the way and analysis on how to build good MIMO channel model are described in this study. By exploiting the spatial freedom of wireless channels, MIMO systems have the potential to achieve high bandwidth efficiency, promoting MIMO to be a key technique in the next generation communication systems. As a basic researching field of MIMO technologies, MIMO channel modeling significantly serve to the performance evaluation of space-time encoding algorithms as well as system level calibration and simulation. Having the superiorities of low inner-antenna correlation and small array size, multi-polarization tends to be a promising technique in future MIMO systems. However, polarization characteristics have not yet been modeled well in current MIMO channel models, so establishing meaningful multi-polarized MIMO channel models has become a hot spot in recent channel modeling investigation. In this study, I have mainly made further research on the related theories in the channel models and channel estimation and implementation algorithms on the others’ research work.
