• This paper performs extensive channel measurements and characteristics analysis to investigate large-scale fading (LSF) and small-scale fading (SSF) of wireless local area network (WLAN) channels in large indoor office environments. Multi-frequency single-input single-output (SISO) channel measurements are conducted at 3, 5.5, and 6.5 GHz under the same conditions to explore the frequency dependence of LSF, delay spread (DS), and K-factor (KF). Then, SISO channel measurements with different half-power beamwidths (HPBWs) of antennas are performed at 5.5 GHz in access point (AP) to user equipment (UE) and AP to AP scenarios. The effects of antenna HPBW on LSF, DS, and KF are investigated, thereby inspiring the AP deployment in high density (HD) scenarios. Finally, 32×64 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel measurements at 5.5 GHz are conducted to study the SSF of the time non-stationarity and multi-link correlation. The time non-stationarity, including the parameters drifting and cluster evolution caused by the movement of the UE, is verified by measurement results. Multi-link correlations are illustrated from perspectives of the angular power spectral density (APSD) and correlation matrix collinearity (CMC). The results show that the distance between users and separation angle can affect the multi-link correlation.
