Polarimetric properties of indoor MIMO channels for different floor levels in a residential house

This paper analyzes polarimetric characteristics of power delay profiles (PDPs), cross polarization discrimination (XPD), and received power of specular and diffuse multipath components of indoor MIMO radio channels at 2.45 GHz. Measurements were done in a residential house at two floors levels: "same floor" and "cross floor". Variations of 5 to 15 dB in PDPs between co-and cross-polar links were found in the same floor level; however these changes decrease as radio links move from line-of-sight to non-line-of-sight propagations. XPDs of radio waves were found to be higher for cross floor configuration, about 5 dB in horizontally and 7 dB in vertically polarized waves. Also, diffuse components of channels were less affected compared to that of specular components in same floor setups for cross-polar links. Our results demonstrate that the contribution of diffuse components to total channel power is higher than previously presented studies for large industrial indoor environments

Measurement-based analysis of dense multipath components in a large industrial warehouse

This work presents a measurement-based polarimetric analysis of the specular- and dense multipath components (SMCs and DMC) in a large industrial warehouse. MIMO channel sounding measurements were carried out in a flower auction warehouse, and were processed with the RiMAX multipath estimation framework. In the analysis, we investigate the behavior of the SMCs and the DMC power as a function of both the polarization and the transmitter-receiver distance for 1507 distinct positions of the receiver. The cross-polar discrimination of the transmitted V and H polarizations were analyzed statistically for this environment, as well as the relative power ratio of the DMC, and the DMC reverberation time
