Correction Factor for Analysis of MIMO Wireless Networks With Highly Directional Beamforming
Abstract
In this letter, we reconsider a popular simplified received signal power model with single stream beamforming employed by the transmitter and the receiver in the regime when the beams have high gain and narrow beamwidth. We define the correction factor as the ratio of the average actual received signal power divided by the average received signal power using the popular simplified model. We analytically quantify this factor for LOS and NLOS service and interfering links under some assumptions. The analysis along with simulations using a 3GPP compliant new radio (NR) channel model confirm the importance of incorporating the correction factor in coverage analysis of wireless networks that utilize the popular simplified received power model.
