Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Owing to the wide spread of Long Term Evolution (LTE), the capacity of cellular system has increased. However the user traffic volume in the cellular network has been growing more rapidly due to the spreads of smart phones and tablet computers. Recently, in the crowded area such as urban railway station vicinities the capacity enhancement technique using the small-cells architecture is examined. Small cell BSs are compact and low-power, and will be placed on the roadside devices such as advertising displays and vending machines. However the applicability of current MIMO channel models in those short-distance and low-BS-height environments is not figured out. Especially, although there are a great number of pedestrians in urban areas, the influences of pedestrians to the MIMO channel models are not figured out. In this paper, to investigate those issues, we carried out the channel sounding in the crowded urban railway station vicinity in the 2GHz band. And to figure out the influence of pedestrians to channel properties, we measured the channel both in the daytime and in the midnight. As the result of comparing the measured data and ITU-R M.2135 channel model, we showed that the delay spread and the AoDazm spread differed from the values of ITU-R model. As the result of comparing the data in the daytime and the data in the midnight, we showed that the received power of daytime was about 4dB lower than the received power of midnight due to the path-blocking by the pedestrians. Delay spread also decreased in the daytime. In addition, we showed that in the daytime , the AoAelv spread increased since the proportion of rays that propagated over the pedestrians increased.
