Abstract
In this paper, a novel 3-dimensional (3D) non-stationary geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) is proposed to mimic the ship-to-ship multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication channels. To reflect the realistic maritime propagation environment, the effects of rough sea surface scattering and evaporation duct propagation are investigated in the proposed channel model. The model considers the movements of transmitter (Tx), receiver (Rx), and scatterers, and is capable of capturing the channel characteristics, including non-stationary characteristics, spatial consistency, location-dependent property, etc. Through taking the array cluster evolution into account, the proposed channel model can describe massive MIMO channels and can easily switch to conventional MIMO channel model by adjusting corresponding parameters. Based on the proposed model, key statistical properties like delay/angular/Doppler power spectrum density (PSD), space-time correlation function (STCF), stationary interval, and root mean square (RMS) Doppler/delay spreads in multi-scenarios are derived. The usefulness and accuracy of the proposed model are demonstrated by comparing theoretical results, simulation results, and corresponding measurement results.
