An Ergodic Sum-of-Cisoids Simulator for Multiple Uncorrelated Rayleigh Fading Channels Under Generalized Scattering Conditions

2012

In this paper, we present a new method for the design of ergodic sum-of-sinusoids (SOS) simulators for multiple uncorrelated narrowband Rayleigh fading channels. The method, which is intended for a special class of SOS models known as sum-of-cisoids (SOC) models, enables the generation of an unlimited number of mutually uncorrelated Rayleigh fading waveforms with specified autocorrelation properties. This is in contrast to all known methods proposed for SOS simulators, which are restricted to the simulation of multiple uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channels characterized by autocorrelation functions (ACFs) derived under the isotropic scattering assumption. The excellent performance of this n…
