A Geometry-based Channel Model to Simulate an Averaged Power Delay Profile

Kurzfassung

Wireless communications or navigation are heavily influenced by electromagnetic wave propagation. The power delay profile (PDP) characterizes the propagation channel by simple statistics. In this paper, we propose a channel model to simulate a given wideband averaged PDP obtained by measurements or theoretical considerations enabling to test, develop and design radio links. The channel model is based on a geometrical stochastic approach allowing to simulate the space-variant channel impulse response (CIR) for a moving receiver. Furthermore, the appearance and disappearance of multipath components are geometrically taken into account by an angular pattern. We verify the proposed methodology by simulations.
