Purpose and content of this measurement July 2009 Purpose and content of this measurement Doppler frequency is T.B.D. in the current channel model document [1]. We showed that Doppler frequency is small compared to the value which is suggested in TGn channel model [2] [3]. Coherence time / Doppler frequency is one of the key parameters to evaluate MU-MIMO. We conducted coherence time measurements in a typical office room to suggest typical coherence time / Doppler frequency in an office environment. W. Yamada, K. Nishimori and Y. Takatori (NTT)

Method to obtain coherence time July 2009 Method to obtain coherence time (1) FFT is employed for received data after A/D conversion. (2) Power spectrum is obtained using the data in Step (1). (3) Time auto-correlation function is obtained by IFFT for the power spectrum obtained in (2). (4) Coherence time Tc is calculated which the time auto-correlation function is 0.5. (5) Doppler frequency fd is calculated using the following relationship [3]. W. Yamada, K. Nishimori and Y. Takatori (NTT)

Measured coherence time July 2009 Measured coherence time We confirmed that the coherence time becomes almost the same between LoS and NLoS scenarios. If we consider that the coherence time is 1.2 s, we can see that the Doppler frequency becomes 0.3 Hz in TGn channel model. Coherence time 0.062s (1.2km/h) at 4.85GHz in TGn model [3]. Coherence time 1.2s (0.3 Hz) in TGn model. W. Yamada, K. Nishimori and Y. Takatori (NTT)

Summary and Conclusion July 2009 Summary and Conclusion (1) Results Coherence time becomes 1.2s at the CDF=10% for LoS and NLoS.  Coherence time is 20 times than the value (0.062s) which is shown in TGn model [3]. Doppler frequency is estimated by coherence time and its value is approximately 0.3 Hz. (2) Conclusion Doppler frequency should be changed to approximately 0.3 Hz, in order that the coherence time is 1.2 s. W. Yamada, K. Nishimori and Y. Takatori (NTT)
