In this paper, we propose a new method to simultaneously estimate the maximum Doppler Spread (DS), the mean Angle of Arrival (AoA) and the Angular Spread (AS). To this end, the derivatives of the cross-correlation functions (DCCF) of the received signal at a Uniform Linear Array (ULA) are exploited. The Rayleigh channel model where the received signal AoAs follow a Gaussian angular distribution is considered. Simulation results show that, the proposed approach offers better accuracy for maximum DS than the algorithm developed in [1]. For the mean AoA and AS estimation, our approach presents NRMSEs close to the one developed in [2].
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.
