A deterministic channel simulation model for spatially correlated Rayleigh fading

Abstract

We propose a deterministic vector channel simulation model for generating the fading waveforms that satisfy not only rigorous temporal correlation but also arbitrary spatial correlation by means of Doppler phase difference sampling. The proposed method is more efficient than the conventional pseudonoise (PN) filtered Gaussian model with coloring process in evaluating the laboratory level performance of the mobile communication systems employing adaptive arrays or space diversity.
