Modelling of Mobile-To-Mobile MIMO Channels

Abstract

Mobile-to-Mobile (M2M) communications are expected to play are expected to play an important role in various elds including ad hoc networks and intelligent transportation systems. In such systems, extremely reliable links are required. To cope with problems faced during the development and performance investigation of futureMobile-to-Mobile multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication systems, a solid knowledge of the underlying multipath fading channel characteristics is essential. This master thesis focuses on the modelling, analysis, and simulation of M2M single-input single-output (SISO) and M2MMIMO channels derived from a geometric street scattering model. Starting from this geometrical model, the corresponding reference and simulation models are derived by applying the generalized concept of deterministic channel modelling. The statistical properties of both the reference and the simulation model are studied with emphasis on the amplitude distribution and the correlation properties, which include the temporal, spatial, and frequency correlation functions. The obtained theoretical results are con rmed by MATLAB simulations.
