Arrival Angular Profile Modeling at Mobile Station for Outdoor NLOS and LOS Environments

Spatial processing techniques such as Adaptive Array Antenna (AAA) and Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) are being considered for use in next generation mobile cellular systems. In order to accurately estimate the performance of these spatial processing techniques in wide-band mobile communications, we need an arrival angular profile model at both the base station (BS) and the mobile station (MS). We proposed empirical arrival angular profile model at both the BS and the MS in Non-line of sight (NLOS) environments. Further, we proposed an empirical arrival angular profile model at the BS in Line of Sight (LOS) environments. To complete the arrival angular profile model at the MS, we need to cover LOS environments. Based on field measurement data, this paper extends the arrival angular profile model at the MS in NLOS environments to create a variant that also covers LOS environments. The extended model can predict the arrival angular profile at the MS in both LOS and NLOS environments. To complete the arrival angular profile model at the MS, we need to cover LOS environments. Based on field measurement data, this paper extends the arrival angular profile model at the MS in NLOS environments to create a variant that also covers LOS environments.
