Abstract
- Due to rapid changes in the environment, vehicular communication channels no longer satisfy the assumption of wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering. The non-stationary fading process can be characterized by assuming local stationarity regions with finite extent in time and frequency. The local scattering function (LSF) and channel correlation function (CCF) provide a framework to characterize the mean power and correlation of the non-stationary channel scatterers, respectively. In this paper, we estimate the LSF and CCF from measurements collected in a vehicle-to-infrastructure radio channel sounding campaign in a suburban environment in Lille, France. Based on the CCF, the stationarity region is evaluated in time as 567 ms and used to capture the non-stationary fading parameters. We obtain the time-varying delay and Doppler power profiles from the LSF, and we analyze the corresponding root-mean-square delay and Doppler spreads. We show that the distribution of these parameters follows a lognormal model. Finally, application relevance in terms of channel capacity and diversity techniques is discussed. Results show that the assumption of ergodic capacity and the performance of various diversity techniques depend on the stationarity and coherence parameters of the channel. The evaluation and statistical modeling of such parameters can provide a way of tracking channel variation, hence, increasing the performance of adaptive schemes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
