Stochastic Modeling and Simulation of Frequency-Correlated Wideband Fading Channels

Abstract

Abstract-For the simulation of practical frequency-diversity wireless communication systems, such as frequency-hopping systems, multicarrier code-division multiple-access systems, and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems, it is often desirable to produce multiple Rayleigh fading processes with given frequency correlation properties. In this paper, a novel stochastic wide-sense stationary sum-of-sinusoids channel simulator is proposed to emulate frequency-correlated wideband fading channels, where the frequency correlation properties are controlled by only adjusting the constant phases. Closed-form expressions are provided for all the parameters of the simulation model. This enables us to investigate analytically the overall correlation properties (not only the correlation coefficients) of the simulated processes with respect to both time separation and frequency separation. It is shown that the wideband channel simulator will be reduced to a narrowband Rayleigh fading-channel simulator by removing the frequency selectivity. Furthermore, the COST 207 typical-urban and rural-area channels are applied to evaluate the performance of the resulting wideband and narrowband channel simulators, respectively. The correlation properties of the simulation models approach the desired ones of the underlying reference models as the number of exponential functions tends to infinity, while very good approximations are achieved with the chosen limited number of exponential functions.

Cross-Layer Interference Mitigation for Cognitive Radio MIMO Systems

“…Simulation results have demonstrated that i) both of the proposed crosslayer algorithms outperform the non-cross-layer approach in terms of the CR-primary interference and the CR throughput, ii) the no-iterative algorithm achieves similar performance to the iterative counterpart without incurring much communication overhead. Future work can be done to incorporate power control of the CR network into the cross-layer design and to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms over more realistic channels like [19].…”

Reliability Analysis of Wireless Real-Time Control Networks

“…The frequency correlation between these realizations is determined by the temporal support of the prescribed power delay profile. The basis of the model is the channel simulation model presented in [16], in which the assumed power delay profile determines the frequency correlation, but the channel is still flat fading on a certain carrier frequency. We modified the simulation model presented in [16] to change the Doppler spectrum to Gaussian, which corresponds better to measurements of indoor channels.…”

A Non-Stationary MIMO Channel Model for High-Speed Train Communication Systems

“…Unlike non-stationary channels [17], characterization of WSSUS channels has been investigated thoroughly in the literature [18], [19]. For the proposed non-stationary HST GBSM, we can obtain the corresponding time-varying transfer function by taking the Fourier transformation of the complex impulse response h pq (t, τ ) in terms of τ , i.e.,…”
