A Novel Simulation Model for Nonstationary Rice Fading Channels

الملخص EN

In this paper, we propose a new simulator for nonstationary Rice fading channels under nonisotropic scattering scenarios, as well as the improved computation method of simulation parameters.

The new simulator can also be applied on generating Rayleigh fading channels by adjusting parameters.

The proposed simulator takes into account the smooth transition of fading phases between the adjacent channel states.

The time-variant statistical properties of the proposed simulator, that is, the probability density functions (PDFs) of envelope and phase, autocorrelation function (ACF), and Doppler power spectrum density (DPSD), are also analyzed and derived.

Simulation results have demonstrated that our proposed simulator provides good approximation on the statistical properties with the corresponding theoretical ones, which indicates its usefulness for the performance evaluation and validation of the wireless communication systems under nonstationary and nonisotropic scenarios.
