Correlation Analysis between Multi-Sources in Indoor Corridors and Tunnels
Keywords:
Indoor propagation, signal correlationAbstract
In this paper, a model is presented to simulate wave propagation in indoor corridors and tunnels with imperfectly conducting walls. The model is based on the waveguiding effect of corridors and tunnels. This approach is based on assuming that the boundaries of the waveguide section are constant impedance surface as the surface impedance of the wall is almost independent of the angle of the wave incidence onto the wall. An analytical approach for the calculation of the signal correlation between the transmitters and receivers elements in tunnels and indoor corridors is proposed. A new approach for determining the best locations of the indoor access points is introduced based on minimum correlation between sources with minimum cross talk. A scenario is considered in order to check the accuracy of this model. This scenario is verified by comparing experimental and numerical simulation results. Good agreement is achieved.
