In this paper, we use a set of modulated discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (MDPSS) to represent a band-limited channel in the scenario with scattering from one or more clusters which can be used in both vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) or vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication cases. Then we evaluate the performance of 2 × 1 space-time transmit diversity (STTD) system with Alamouti coding and imperfect channel estimation at the receiver. We consider examples of different scattering environments which represent vehicular communication in urban areas, derive expressions for autocorrelation function of channel gains and verify it by simulation. Scattering effect on estimation quality of the system is examined in terms of minimum mean square error (MMSE) and bit error rate (BER).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
