Correlation and Spectral Properties of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Channels in the Presence of Moving Scatterers

subject

description

This paper derives a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channel model assuming a typical propagation scenario in which the local scatterers move with random velocities in random directions. The complex channel gain of the proposed V2V channel model is provided. Subsequently, for different scatterer velocity distributions, the corresponding autocorrelation function (ACF), power spectral density (PSD), and the Doppler spread of the channel are derived, shown, and confirmed by the available measurement data. It is shown that the Gaussian mixture (GM) and the exponential distribution can accurately describe the velocity distribution of relatively fast and slow moving scatterers, respectively. Since the proposed V2V channel model flexibly covers several communication scenarios as special cases, including fixed-to-vehicle (F2V) and fixed-to-fixed (F2F) scenarios in the presence of both fixed and moving scatterers, it is obvious that the presented results are important for the performance analysis of cutting-edge vehicular communication systems.
