April 2007 doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/0570r0 September 2009 Introduction As described in [1], the 802.11n Doppler model applied a Doppler spectrum to every tap in the impulse response Numerous measurements have been made [1-5] demonstrating that the channel coherence time of stationary devices do not match that of the 802.11n Doppler model New measurements have been made on a slowly moving device to see how the channel coherence time compares to the 802.11n Doppler model Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation

New Measurements with Slowly Moving Device September 2009 New Measurements with Slowly Moving Device Measurements were captured the same office environment as in [1] Laptop was placed on a cart and pushed at slow walking speed along the corridor completing an entire circle around the floor Laptop was the source device Stationary clients were destination devices, which captured CSI from LTFs (3 Tx antennas, 3 Rx antennas, 3 streams) TxBF capacity computed from measurements as described in [1] Channel coherence time computed from measurements as described in [2] Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation

Floor Plan Circled numbers indicate destination device locations September 2009 Floor Plan 1 4 3 Circled numbers indicate destination device locations Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation

Example of Measured Data September 2009 Example of Measured Data This is an example of the time progression of a single subcarrier of a single Tx and Rx antenna combination i.e. H[1,2] for subcarrier 1 Much more rapid variation and deeper nulls than for stationary devices in [2] Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation

Summary of Measurements September 2009 Summary of Measurements Comparable results at each destination Substantial degradation to TxBF gain after 20ms and 50ms Very short coherence time as compared to stationary devices in [2] Degradation similar to that seen with 802.11n channel model with Doppler Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation

September 2009 Conclusion Measured coherence time and degradation to TxBF gain are comparable to that of the original 802.11n Doppler model 802.11n Doppler model appears to be reasonable for slowly moving devices TGac simulation scenarios contain handheld devices, which very reasonably would be mobile, e.g. someone walking around with their phone TGac Doppler model should have a velocity component for both mobile and stationary devices Original 802.11n Doppler model should be applied to the handheld devices in the TGac simulation scenarios Eldad Perahia, Intel Corporation
