Study On The IMT-Advanced Channel: Model Implementation And Coded System Performance

The channel model utilized in the3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) is thespace channel model (SCM) and the extended SCM (SCME). And in the fourthgeneration communication system standard-international mobile telecommunication-advanced (IMT-Advanced), the channel model employed is still SCM while with furthermodification. By employing geometric ray tracking method and taking the spacetransmission characteristics into consideration, the IMT-Advanced channel model canreflect sufficiently the channel feature in the time-, space-, and frequency-dimension.This thesis first accomplishes the software modeling of the IMT-Advanced channelgiven in ITU M.2135standard file. The implementations of both large scale fading andsmall scale fading are given using C/C++. And the channel character is studied bysimulations. Then, the coded system performance over the IMT-Advanced channel isresearched. Specifically, a simplified one-tap channel scheme is presented, based onwhich the coded systems with various coding schemes are studied. And over themulti-path channel, the coded system is studied with time-domain equalization andfrequency-domain equalization, respectively.
