Box 123 Broadway NSW2007 Australia Email ananda@ Received 1 March 2004 Revised 7 October 2004 The clustering of propagating signals in indoor environments can influence the performance of multiple-input multiple-output MIMO systems that employ multiple-element antennas at the transmitter and receiver. In order to clarity the effect of clustering propagation on the performance of indoor MIMO systems we propose a simple and efficient indoor MIMO channel model. The proposed model which is validated with on-site measurements combines the statistical characteristics of signal clusters with deterministic ray tracing approach. Using the proposed model the effect of signal clusters and the presence of the line-of-sight component in indoor Ricean channels are studied. Simulation results on channel efficiency and the angular sensitivity for different antenna array topologies inside a specified indoor scenario are also provided. Our investigations confirm that the clustering of signals significantly affects the spatial correlation and hence the achievable indoor MIMO capacity.
