doc.: IEEE /0161r1 Submission Doc.:IEEE /0537r0 Purpose of this measurement Although there is a model for Doppler frequency in IEEE802.11n, we could not find other reliable papers for Doppler frequency effect in indoor environment. Since SDMA performance may be vulnerable to the channel variation compared to single user MIMO, Doppler frequency should be carefully considered in IEEE802.11ac. We conducted measurements to show actual Doppler frequency effects in a typical office room. The followings are the measured two scenarios. (1) Influence of fluorescent light: Measured environment is shown in page5-6 (2) Comparison between LOS and NLOS environment: Measured environment is shown in page7-8.

doc.: IEEE /0161r1 Submission Doc.:IEEE /0537r0 In our measurement, the measured Doppler frequency was not affected by the fluorescent condition, i.e. light was on or off. As can be seen in the slide, the bell shape curve fits to the measured Doppler frequency while fd is around 0.10Hz but not 1Hz Influence of fluorescent light ON OFF 1Hz 0.1Hz

doc.: IEEE /0161r1 Submission Doc.:IEEE /0537r0 In the channel model of IEEE802.11n, 0 Hz component was removed from the measured Doppler frequency not to include the direct path component. However, we found that 0 Hz component still existed even in the LOS environment. fd was around 0.05~0.2 Hz so the Doppler frequency in a typical office may be lower than that in IEEE802.11n channel model. Comparison between LOS and NLOS NLOS fd=0.05Hz LOS fd=0.05Hz

doc.: IEEE /0161r1 Submission Doc.:IEEE /0537r0 CDF of Measured Doppler Frequency The measured Doppler frequency are around 0.1Hz and Doppler frequency variation is small in each measurement. 1 st mes. 2 nd mes. 3 rd mes. 4 th mes Interval of the measurement: 10 minutes Time duration for each measurement: 30 seconds

doc.: IEEE /0161r1 Submission Doc.:IEEE /0537r0 Conclusion Dependency on the fluorescent condition was not observed in our measurement. The estimated fd from the measured data was around 0.05~0.2Hz which was much lower than that of IEEE802.11n channel model. Ignoring 0 Hz component may not be a reasonable way to evaluate fd because high level of 0Hz component was observed even in NLOS environment. Doppler frequency variation is small in infoor office environment.
