Performance Analyzing of Channel Models for Urban Micro-Cell Communication Environment Based on Electromagnetic Scattering Theory

In urban micro-cell communication environment, the radio propagation conditions are very complicated. It is important to establish an efficient radio propagation channel model for theoretical analyzing, system optimal designing and networks planning. The Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technique is considered as one of the most promising breakthrough to modern communication technology. After a review of the multi-path dispersion channel properties, this paper proposed a micro-cell MIMO channel model for multi-element antenna systems based on results from Electromagnetic (EM) scattering and wave propagation. Some parameters which determine channel performance such as spatial correlation, capacity and time evolution have been investigated and simulated. The simulation results match well with measurements available in literature.
