A 3D GBSM for Ship-to-Land Communications

In this paper, we propose a novel three-dimensional (3D) geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) maritime ship-to-land communication channels. The proposed model is a combination of a line-of-sight (LoS) component, a specular reflection component, and scattering components from a sphere model and multiple confocal elliptic-cylinder models. Based on the proposed model, some key statistical properties like space-time-correlation-function (STCF) and Doppler power spectrum density (PSD) are derived. The impacts of the moving direction angles on Doppler PSD and Ricean K factor on spatial cross-correlation function (CCF) are investigated. Finally, the consistency between the power delay profile (PDP) for the proposed simulation model and the measurement data demonstrates the validity of the proposed model.
