Autoregressive models for fading channel simulation

Autoregressive stochastic models for the computer simulation of correlated Rayleigh fading processes are investigated. The unavoidable numerical difficulties faced by this method are elucidated and a simple heuristic approach is adopted to enable the synthesis of accurately correlated, bandlimited Rayleigh variates. Performance comparisons are made with a popular generation technique to demonstrate the merits of the method.
