Abstract

MIMO-OFDM system is the main technology to the future wireless system. In this paper, to model multipath propagation and spatial-temporal fading correlation in frequency-selective channel, we propose a fading-correlated MIMO channel model. The channel is abstracted as a cluster-based double bounce model with multiple taps. Both transmitter and receiver are considered. The expressions of correlation coefficient and MIMO-OFDM channel capacity are derived, respectively. The effect of spatial temporal correlation on the capacity is investigated for different physical parameters. Increasing delay spread taps and cluster angular spread can increase the capacity. Two typical scenarios are simulated for indoor and outdoor environments.
