Time and Angle of Arrival Statistics of Mobile-to-mobile Communication Channel Employing Dual Annular Strip Model

Abstract

In this paper, a generalized channel model for mobile-to-mobile communication based on the single bounce geometry-based channel modeling techniques has been proposed and analyzed. The model assumes the scatterers to be present in annular strips around the transmitting and the receiving mobile stations. Time of arrival and angle of arrival statistics, being two important channel parameters, have been derived and verified through computer simulations.

Keywords:

• Angle of arrival
• Channel modeling
• Mobile-to-mobile channel
• Time of arrival
