3D mobile-to-mobile wireless channel model

Abstract

A three-dimensional single-input single-output Mobile-to-Mobile wireless channel model is developed in this paper by considering the underlying physics of free space wave propagation. Based on this channel model, the temporal correlation function for a general three dimensional scattering environment is derived. The temporal correlation function is characterized by the joint angular power distribution at the transmitter and receiver antennas and the speed of transmitter and receiver antennas. Using a von Mises-Fisher distribution as the angular power distribution, the usefulness of the derived temporal correlation function is discussed.
