Sažetak
This paper explores the accuracy of Saleh- Valenzuela (SV) statistical simulation model in time of arrival domain (ToA) applied on inter- floor wide band indoor radio channels. In order to extract the model parameters, an extensive measurement campaign was performed inside a modern building by applying vector network analyzer method at frequency of 1.8 GHz. The measurement results are presented in form of path loss exponent and delay spread statistics for each number-of-floors (NOF) distance between the antennas (up to 4). Path loss exponent was found to be around 3 for antennas on a same floor and around 5.5 for any other case when antennas were on separated floors. CDFs of rms delay spread may be divided into two groups: the first group is made of single- floor (SF) case and distanced- floors (DF) cases (three or more floors separated antennas) which showed similarities performing median value at 20 ns. For neighboring-floors (NF) cases (one and two floors separation) this value was increased to 35 ns. SV simulation, run with the extracted parameters, assessed delay spread statistics sufficiently good for the first group of CDFs. In order to assess the second group results, it was necessary to introduce simple corrections in SV model application.
