A Non-Stationary MIMO Channel Model for High-Speed Train Communication Systems

Abstract

This paper proposes a non-stationary wideband geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) high-speed train (HST) channels. The proposed model has the ability to investigate the non-stationarity of HST environment caused by the high speed movement of the receiver. Based on the proposed model, the space-time-frequency (STF) correlation function (CF) and STF local scattering function (LSF) are derived for different taps. Numerical results show the non-stationarity of the proposed channel model.
