Channel Models for Performance Evaluation

This course covers the comprehensive understanding of channel models for performance evaluation. It begins with the importance of propagation effects for future advancements in waveforms and the role of Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) communications. It further explains the large-scale and small-scale effects of propagation, the concept of fading, and the significance of signal propagation. The course then delves into the concept of coverage probability, International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020), also known as 5G, and the path loss exponent used in its evaluation models. The course concludes with an in-depth study of the MIMO channel, frequency selectivity, and the impact of different aspects on different channels. It also explores the concept of Doppler spectrum, signal correlation, and the calculation of coherence time and coherence bandwidth.
