Introduction TGac has been studying the AoD spectrum variation as a function of client location and orientation The TGac channel model addendum document still use “TBD” value for AoD range [1] This presentation describes the results of measurement performed at ETRI to show the AoD and AoA spectrum as a function of client location And proposes values for “TBD” [1] IEEE 802.11-09/0543r0, “Measured Channel Capacity and AoD Estimation for Multi-User MIMO Scenarios,” IEEE 802.11 #115, May 2009.

Discussion In NLOS case, the AoD has uniform random distribution over 0o~360o. The above seems to be true even when the AP is located close to the wall. The results also supports TGac’s tentative conclusion made in May meeting that NLOS AoA, LOS AoA, and LOS AoD have uniform distribution over 0o~360o. Byung-Jae Kwak, ETRI, et al.
Text Proposal Modify subclause 4 of IEEE 802.11-09/0308r5, “TGac Channel Model Addendum,” IEEE 802.11 #115, May 2009, as indicated below: ----- Begin Text Proposal ----- 4. Modifications to AoA and AoD for Multi-User MIMO TGac requires specification of channels to multiple users as simultaneous communication will take place to multiple STAs in technologies like multi-user MIMO. The TGn channel model document specifies the cluster AoAs and AoDs for point-to-point single user transmissions. Extensions of these AoDs and AoAs to the multi-user case are needed. Multi-user channels shall be modeled with the following modifications to the AoA and AoD for each client: Assume TGn-defined cluster AoDs and AoAs as baseline. For each client: Apply single random offset uniformly distributed over ±180° to the LOS tap AoA Apply single random offset uniformly distributed over ±180° to the LOS tap AoD Apply single random offset uniformly distributed over ±180° to the NLOS cluster AoAs Apply single random offset uniformly distributed over ±180° to the NLOS cluster AoDs ----- End Text Proposal ----- Byung-Jae Kwak, ETRI, et al.
