IMPLEMENTATION OF WIDEBAND DIRECTIONAL CHANNEL FOR UMTS LINK LEVEL SIMULATOR

This paper deals with the definition and the implementation of a Wideband Directional Channel Model (WDCM) based on the COST 259 recommendations. Cluster of replicas are introduced by means of Tapped Delay Line (TDL). Macro, Micro and Pico cells models are considered in different general radio environments. Proposed channel model can be used in a Link Level Simulator (LLS). A good compromise between accuracy of the model and complexity required by the simulator is guaranteed by a suitable statistic approach based on deterministic considerations. In this paper, only results about up-link channel model are presented and evaluated.
