Time-delayed saleh valenzuala cluster model for UWB & mm-Wave

 Time-delayed saleh valenzuala cluster model for UWB & mm-Wave

Multipath components (MPCs) travelling near in time and arriving from potentially varied angle orientations in a brief propagation time window make up time clusters.

We employ a Low Pass Filter (LPF) or circuit switching to detect the signal at the receiver side, which can detect a signal of a particular time duration (say, Ts). Keep in mind that the above signal, also known as the CIR, is a combination of delayed versions of a single impulse.


Saleh Valenzuela Channel Model (for UWB & Millimeter Wave Band)

Extremely high frequencies, like, millimeter wave (mm Wave) band or Ultra Wideband (UWB) which contributes high pathloss and its show multiple reflection and refraction property due to very short wavelength. If we deploy Massive MIMO system in such extremely high frequencies then channel matrix becomes sparse because multiple reflection and refraction weaken the signal strength and only few multi-paths (MPCs) riches to receiver with acceptable power. On the other hand we receive multiple copies of same signal at receiver side due to multiple reflection of same signal before reaching at receiver. So, we observe time dispersion property of signal. This time dispersion property is modelled as the extended Saleh Valenzuela model (clustered channel model) which is a frequently utilized model that enables us collect characteristics properly over Mm Wave channels or UWB communication channel. 

Figure: Saleh Valenzuala Channel Model for UWB and mmWave Communication

Here in the above figure we have shown Saleh Valenzuala Channel Model which is basically based on exponentially decreasing amplitude of rays and clusters and also based on time delays or dispersion of same signal as well. For exam if we're sending high frequency narrow pulse from transmitter side, then we receive multiple copies of same signal with delays at receiver side due to multipath (MPCs). Here, each sample in a cluster is called ray or MPC. You will see here multiple clusters are formed. Let me tell what exactly cluster is



Cluster & Ray in Saleh Valenzuala Model

For extremely high frequency communication, time dispersion of signal is common. Here we observe some rays or MPCs arrive at receiver close in time or you can say they are close in spatial domain in CIR (channel impulse response graph). In the above  figure you see multiple clusters and rays for same signal transmitted from Tx side. Here, t11, t12, and t13 are very close in time but there is significant different between t13 and  t21. For simplicity, t11, t12, and t13 are rays in cluster 1 and t21, t22, and t23 are rays in cluster 2. Two clusters are not close in time at all. 

During transmission signal at receiver, reaches with different angle of arrivals (AoA). That's why there are different clusters are formed. But only close in time rays or MPCs form a cluster. Other rays close in time form another cluster as well.

You also see rays in same cluster are continually decreasing in amplitude with time delay. And same thing happens for clusters. They are also decreasing in amplitude with time delay of received signal. 



For Practice systems

  • Saleh Valenzuala Model is widely acceptable model for clustered delay model where operating frequency is very high and signal has multiple reflection and refraction property.
  • In Saleh valenzuala model cluster arrival rate and ray arrival rate are very important. sometimes we take in consideration of mixed probability of cluster arrival rate for simplicity in calculation
  • In this model amplitude of received signal is also important. In this case also, we sometimes take average amplitude or power of signal as well.
  • If we increase the operating frequency continuously then in general, number of clusters decrease.
  • Similarly, for a particular environment, if signal becomes more reflected than other environment then number of clusters also decreases.

Modulation Constellation Diagrams BER vs. SNR BER vs SNR for M-QAM, M-PSK, QPSk, BPSK, ... What is Bit Error Rate (BER)? The abbreviation BER stands for bit error rate, which indicates how many corrupted bits are received (after the demodulation process) compared to the total number of bits sent in a communication process. It is defined as,  In mathematics, BER = (number of bits received in error / total number of transmitted bits)  On the other hand, SNR refers to the signal-to-noise power ratio. For ease of calculation, we commonly convert it to dB or decibels.   What is Signal the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)? SNR = signal power/noise power (SNR is a ratio of signal power to noise power) SNR (in dB) = 10*log(signal power / noise power) [base 10] For instance, the SNR for a given communication system is 3dB. So, SNR (in ratio) = 10^{SNR (in dB) / 10} = 2 Therefore, in this instance, the s...

Fundamentals of Channel Estimation

Channel Estimation Techniques Channel Estimation is an auto-regressive process that may be performed with a number of iterations. There are commonly three types of channel estimation approaches. 1. Pilot estimation  2. Blind estimation  3. Semi-blind estimation. For Channel Estimation,  CIR [↗] is used. The amplitudes of the impulses decrease over time and are not correlated. For example, y(n) = h(n) * x(n) + w(n) where y(n) is the received signal, x(n) is the sent signal, and w(n) is the additive white gaussian noise At the next stage, h(n+1) = a*h(n) + w(n) The channel coefficient will be modified as stated above at the subsequent stage. The scaling factor "a" determines the impulse's amplitude, whereas "h(n+1)" represents the channel coefficient at the following stage. Pilot Estimation Method To understand how a communication medium is currently behaving, a channel estimate is necessary. In order to monitor a channel's behavior in practice communication ...

Difference between AWGN and Rayleigh Fading

Wireless Signal Processing Gaussian and Rayleigh Distribution Difference between AWGN and Rayleigh Fading 1. Introduction Rayleigh fading coefficients and AWGN, or additive white gaussian noise [↗] , are two distinct factors that affect a wireless communication channel. In mathematics, we can express it in that way.  Fig: Rayleigh Fading due to multi-paths Let's explore wireless communication under two common noise scenarios: AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) and Rayleigh fading. y = h*x + n ... (i) Symbol '*' represents convolution. The transmitted signal  x  is multiplied by the channel coefficient or channel impulse response (h)  in the equation above, and the symbol  "n"  stands for the white Gaussian noise that is added to the signal through any type of channel (here, it is a wireless channel or wireless medium). Due to multi-paths the channel impulse response (h) changes. And multi-paths cause Rayleigh fa...

Constellation Diagram of FSK in Detail

  Binary bits '0' and '1' can be mapped to 'j' and '1' to '1', respectively, for Baseband Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) . Signals are in phase here. These bits can be mapped into baseband representation for a number of uses, including power spectral density (PSD) calculations. For passband BFSK transmission, we can modulate signal 'j' with a lower carrier frequency and signal '1' with a higher carrier frequency while transmitting over a wireless channel. Let's assume we are transmitting carrier signal fc1 for the transmission of binary bit '1' and carrier signal fc2 for the transmission of binary bit '0'.

Dive into the fascinating world of GMSK modulation, where continuous phase modulation and spectral efficiency come together for robust communication systems! Core Process of GMSK Modulation Phase Accumulation (Integration of Filtered Signal) After applying Gaussian filtering to the Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) signal, we integrate the smoothed NRZ signal over time to produce a continuous phase signal: θ(t) = ∫ 0 t m filtered (Ï„) dÏ„ This integration is crucial for avoiding abrupt phase transitions, ensuring smooth and continuous phase changes. Phase Modulation The next step involves using the phase signal to modulate a high-frequency carrier wave: s(t) = cos(2Ï€f c t + θ(t)) Here, f c is the carrier frequency, and s(t) represents the continuous-phase modulated carrier wave.
