doc.: IEEE /925r0 Submission November 2003 A.Forenza, et al - University of Texas at Austin3 Analytical Model Each channel tap exhibits Laplacian power azimuth spectrum (PAS) in the domain [ ]: : AoA offset with respect to the mean AoA ( ) of the tap : RMS Angular Spread (AS)

doc.: IEEE /925r0 Submission November 2003 A.Forenza, et al - University of Texas at Austin4 Analytical Model Received signal at the m-th sensor of the array antenna for one channel tap: D : normalized distance between array elements ( ) N : number of rays for one tap : complex Gaussian fading coefficient (with variance N 0 =1) : transmitted signal (with )

doc.: IEEE /925r0 Submission November 2003 A.Forenza, et al - University of Texas at Austin6 Performance Results We compared 3 different models: 1) 3GPP: sum of rays (model of reference) [2] 2) n: approximation with series of Bessel functions of the first kind [1] 3) “Fast-R”: approximation for low per-tap AS [5]

doc.: IEEE /925r0 Submission November 2003 A.Forenza, et al - University of Texas at Austin11 Computational Time “Fast-R” is ~200 times faster than n 18taps/user (model C) and 34taps/user (model F)

doc.: IEEE /925r0 Submission November 2003 A.Forenza, et al - University of Texas at Austin12 Modifications to the Current Standard Assume Laplacian distribution defined in the domain [ ], instead of [ ] as in [1] Assume Tap-AS < 15 o, for any value of Cluster-AS. In [3]: Tap-AS Cluster-AS 13 o No evidence for AS > 13 o

doc.: IEEE /925r0 Submission November 2003 A.Forenza, et al - University of Texas at Austin13 Conclusions The “Fast-R” method is a practical alternative to computing the covariance R using [1]. The “Fast-R” method generates covariances that are close to that generated by [1], when the per- tap AS is less than 15 degrees. The computational reduction is significant (factor of ~200).
