A 3D Non-Stationary Channel Model with Moving Mobile Station in Rectangular Tunnel

Abstract EN

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) for capturing the non-stationarity of radio channel at 1.8 GHz in a rectangular tunnel.

A time-variant (TV) complex channel gain is derived for obtaining the statistical properties in time, frequency, and spatial domains such as the time-variant autocorrelation function (TV-ACF), the time-variant Doppler power spectral density (TV-DPSD), and the time-variant spatial cross-correlation function (TV-CCF), respectively.

Then the TV channel statistical properties at different time instants can be extracted and the non-stationary channel characteristics caused by the TV scattering environment are thoroughly discussed.

Furthermore, three cases including “approach”, “arrival”, and “away” are set to allow a comprehensive study on how the DPSD behaves with the relative position between transmitter and receiver.

The reliability of proposed 3D GBSM is highlighted by a good agreement with the measured result in terms of the correlation function.
