A Geometry-Based Stochastic Model for Wideband MIMO Mobile-to-Mobile Channels

In this paper, based on the tapped delay line (TDL) structure, we propose a geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) for wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mobile-to-mobile (M2M) Ricean fading channels. The proposed wideband model is the first GBSM that has the ability to study the impact of the vehicular traffic density (VTD) on channel statistics for different time delays, i.e., for every tap in our model. From the proposed model, the space-time (ST) correlation function (CF) and the corresponding space-Doppler (SD) power spectral density (PSD) are derived. Excellent agreement is achieved between the theoretical Doppler PSDs and measured data, demonstrating the utility of the proposed model.
