Abstract
This paper proposes a novel three-dimensional (3D) mixed-bouncing based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) channel model with space-time-frequency (S-T-F) non-stationarity for sixth generation (6G) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) millimeter wave (mmWave) wireless communication systems. In the proposed mixed-bouncing based model, the line-of-sight (LoS) transmission, single-bouncing transmission, and multi-bouncing transmission are simultaneously modeled. A new parameter, i.e., cluster density index, is defined and developed. The influence of communication scenarios, frequency, UAV’s height, and distance between transceivers on cluster density index is also analyzed. To capture the S-T-F non-stationarity, a mixed-bouncing based S-T-F non-stationary algorithm is developed based on the birth-death (BD) process and frequency-dependent factor for the first time. In the developed algorithm, the non-stationarity is captured from the perspectives of both single-clusters and twin-clusters. Meanwhile, the impact of UAV-related parameters, such as the UAV’s height and 3D moving velocity, on the non-stationary modeling is considered. Based on the simulation results, the impact of cluster density index on the important channel statistical properties, such as S-T-F correlation function (STF-CF) and Doppler power spectral density (PSD), is explored. Finally, the simulation results match well with the measurement and ray-tracing (RT)-based results, validating the accuracy of the proposed model.
