· Continue study on handling of channel delays between different UE-TRP links. The following are examples of how absolute delays between different UE-TRP link may be applied in 38.901 provided by companies.
o Example 1) introduce a new correlation type called “physically consistent” that takes the individual UE-TRP distances into account when generating the link-specific delays.
o Example 2) Reuse absolute delay modelling in section 7.6.9 in TR 38.901 with extension for other scenarios as follows:

< Unchanged text omitted > 7.7.5.1 CDL extension: Scaling of angles The angle values of
CDL models are fixed, which is not very suitable for MIMO simulations for
several reasons; The PMI statistics can become biased, and a fixed
precoder may perform better than open-loop and on par with closed-loop or
reciprocity beamforming.
Furthermore,
a
CDL only represents a single channel realization. The predefined angle values
in the CDL models can be generalized by introducing angular
translation and scaling. By translation, mean angle can be changed to in which:
The angular scaling is
applied on Example scaling values are: - AOD spread (ASD) for each CDL model: {5, 10, 15, 25} degrees. - AOA spread (ASA) for each CDL model: {30, 45, 60} degrees. - ZOA spread (ZSA) for each CDL model: {5, 10, 15} degrees. - ZOD spread (ZSD) for each CDL model: {1, 3, 5} degrees. The angular scaling and translation can be applied to some or all of the azimuth and zenith angles of departure and arrival. Note: The
azimuth angles of Note: The azimuth angles may need to be wrapped around to be within [0, 360] degrees, while the zenith angles may need to be clipped to be within [0, 180] degrees. Note: The resulting

Agreement
· Copy the following summary of observations, conclusions, and agreements to the cover sheet of the measurement data source Tdoc, intended to be captured as reference to the TR.
Based on measurement data provided, RAN1 concludes that following channel modeling parameters are validated and no updates to the TR are made. · Pathloss o InH-Office LOS and NLOS o RMa LOS and NLOS o InF LOS and NLOS o UMi LOS and NLOS · Delay Spread o InH LOS and NLOS · Shadow fading o InH LOS and NLOS o UMi NLOS · Angular spread o UMa LOS ZSD o UMa NLOS ZSD
For the following channel modeling parameters, sources have observed both consistent and different measurements compared with model in TR38.901 v18.0.0. Due to lack of consensus, the following channel modeling parameters are not updated. · Pathloss o UMa LOS and NLOS · Delay spread o InF LOS and NLOS · Angular spread o ASD, ASA, ZSA, and ZSD of InH LOS and NLOS o ZSD of UMi LOS and NLOS · Shadow fading o UMi LOS While measurement of ZSD for rural macrocell deployments from a source observed lower ZSD values compared to ZSD for RMa at shorter distances, and measurement of ASD for rural macrocell deployments from a source observed lower ZSD values compared to ASD for RMa, there was no consensus to update RMa ASD and ZSD parameters due to lack of measurement data for each of LOS, NLOS, and O2I cases. For the following channel modeling parameters, RAN1 has identified necessary updates at least for 6 – 24 GHz frequency range. The updated parameter was generated using all measurement and ray tracing data set from Rel-14 SI and (current) Rel-19 SI. The data points were divided into 3 groups, below 6 GHz, 6 to 24 GHz, and above 24 GHz and weighted for processing. The data sets for each group was used to perform weighted least square curve fit. If a group has fewer data points, higher weight per data point is calculated. All points within a group have same weight. Sum of weights for all groups is equal to 1. Each group is given equal weightage. · Delay spread o UMi LOS and NLOS o UMa LOS and NLOS · Angular spread o ASA, ASD, ZSA of UMi LOS and NLOS o ASA, ASD, ZSA of UMa LOS and NLOS o Cluster ASD of UMa LOS, NLOS, and O2I o ASD of UMa O2I
For ASD of UMa O2I scenario, the update parameters were generated from scaling of updated NLOS UMa O2I value with the ratio of NLOS UMa NLOS and O2I measurement data fit from (current) Rel-19 SI at 3.7 GHz. UMa O2I ASD values of Rel-14 TR38.901 used values from UMa O2I ASD values of TR36.873. UMa O2I ASD values of TR36.873 used UMi O2I ASD values from ITU-RM.2135-1. IMT-2020 modeling used the same values from TR36.873. TR25.996 does not contain UMa O2I values. The UMi O2I ASD parameters were derived from Winner II report. For Cluster AoD spread of UMa LOS, NLOS, and O2I scenarios, the update parameter for LOS and NLOS was generated using all measurement and ray tracing data set from Rel-14 SI and (current) Rel-19 SI and dividing the data points into 3 groups, below 6 GHz, 6 to 24 GHz, and above 24 GHz, and weighting the data sets for each group to perform weighted least square curve fit. If a group has fewer data points, higher weight per data point is calculated. All points within a group have same weight. Sum of weights for all groups is equal to 1. Each group is given equal weightage. The update parameters were generated from scaling of updated NLOS UMa O2I value with the ratio of NLOS UMa NLOS and O2I measurement data fit from (current) Rel-19 SI at 3.7 GHz. The number of clusters for UMi was taken from Winner II which used the 95% CDF of the number of clusters assuming K-mean clustering algorithm for counting number of clusters. For material penetration loss model, IRR glass penetration loss model was updated based on single coating for IRR glass. For other materials, standard multi-panel glass, concrete, and wood, model was not updated. However, reference thickness of the materials were clarified. New material penetration loss model for plywood has been agreed. Angle scaling and shifting for CDL based channel model for link-level evaluations was corrected and updated.
The number of clusters for UMi was taken from Winner II which appears to have use the 95%-tile value from the CDF of the number of clusters assuming K-mean clustering algorithm for counting number of clusters. For UMa NLOS case, the 90%-tile and maximum number of cluster measurements from sources was observed to be aligned. For UMa LOS and UMi LOS cases, the 90%-tile and maximum number of cluster measurements from sources was observed to be marginally higher than the values in current TR38.901 by 1 to 6 clusters. For InH LOS, InH NLOS, UMi NLOS, the 90%-tile and maximum number of cluster measurements from sources was observed to be marginally lower than the values in current TR38.901 by 1 to 6 clusters. For UMa LOS/NLOS, UMi LOS/NLOS, and InH LOS/NLOS cases, the mean number of cluster measurements were significantly lower than values in current TR38.901.
For other fast fading channel model parameters not mentioned above, no observation and conclusions are made due to lack of measurement data inputs.
Beyond changes to the existing channel model, the following new components were added: · new deployment scenario, suburban macro (SMa), · new antenna model for handheld UT and consumer premise equipment (CPE) UT, · absolute time of arrival modeling for InH, UMi, UMa, RMa, and SMa, · nearfield channel propagation, · spatial non-stationarity modeling for BS and UT. |
