Abstract
The measurement results in land mobile satellite (LMS) communication scenario have shown that the propagation characteristic of LMS channel is a non-stationary process. In this paper, a non-stationary three-dimensional (3-D) wideband geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) and the corresponding simulation model are proposed for high-altitude platform (HAP) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system. The proposed GBSM uses two-dimensional (2-D) one-ring and 3-D multi-cylinders to model moving scatterers and near and far stationary scatterers, respectively. In the proposed GBSM, we assume that the multipath components (MPCs) scattering from the far stationary scatterers could appear again after their disappearance, and a two-state continuous-time Markov process is used to model the dynamic properties of MPCs such as MPCs appearance and disappearance, and the closed-form expressions of the survival probabilities of MPCs are derived. In the proposed GBSM, the long distance and small-scale time-variant parameters are also used to investigate the non-stationarities of HAP-MIMO channel. Using the survival probabilities of MPCs, the statistical properties of the proposed 3-D GBSM are derived. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed 3-D GBSM is more practical to characterize the HAP-MIMO channel.
