Abstract:
Due to the complication and 3D propagation of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, a 3D non-stationary geometry-based statistical model based on twin cluster scattering structure is proposed in this paper. Line of sight (LoS), single bounced, multiple bounced, and equivalent virtual link are taken into account, which can guarantee the general usefulness for all signal propagation ways of V2V communication. Meanwhile, statistical properties of this model, including normalized time variant spatial temporal correlation properties, Doppler power spectrum density (DPSD), level crossing rate (LCR), and average fading duration (AFD) are investigated and analyzed. Simulation results demonstrate that theoretical results, simulated ones, and measured ones are in an excellent agreement, which verifies the correctness of statistical properties' investigation and usefulness of model. Our model can be used in design and optimization of V2V communication systems.
