SUB6

Seven measurement runs, selected from a measurement campaign in Bonn, Germany, are provided. The environment is urban, the context is V2I from an elevated base station, the set-up is fully polarimetric MIMO with two 16 dual-pol element stacked circular arrays, configured as two circular rings of 8 elements each. The frequency is 2,53GHz, the bandwidth 20MHz. For easy access of relevant quantities, data and meta data are stored in HDF5 format. For aiding interpretation of the data, full Tx and Rx array characteristics are included.

The measurement campaign was performed in Cologne (Germany) using a RUSK MIMO channel sounder operating at 2.53 GHz. The fixed transmitter has been mounted on a roof top of an approx. 30m high building whereas the mobile receiver has been set up in a car.

The application of high resolution parameter estimation algorithms requires adequate antenna arrays. Therefore the measurements have been done using a stacked uniform circular array at the base station side (Tx) as well as at the mobile station side (Rx). Both arrays are linear dual polarized.

In order to obtain an antenna independent characterization of the radio channel the high resolution parameter estimation framework RIMAX was used. RIMAX models the channel as the superposition of a deterministic (specular) and a stochastic (dense multipath) part. The deterministic part resembles a multitude of plane waves that are resolvable by the estimator. Each plane wave is hereby described using its time-delay, angle-of-arrival (in azimuth and elevation), angle-of-departure (in azimuth and elevation) and the complex polarimetric path-weight.
