Abstract
In this letter, we develop a three-dimensional (3-D) irregular-shaped semi-ellipsoid channel model for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication in street scattering environments. The geometric model is irregular-shaped due to the scattering environments cut by vertical structures along the roadside. With employing a uniform planar array (UPA), we first characterize the geometrical relationships between transmitter and receiver constrained by different boundaries of scattering regions in detail. Then we derive the closed-form expressions for the probability density functions (PDFs) of the angle of departure (AoD) and joint time of arrival (ToA)/AoD in azimuth and elevation planes. Moreover, we discuss the impacts of the street width and large-scale antenna array on channel statistical properties. Numerical results show that our proposed model can capture characteristics of massive MIMO V2V channels while in close agreement with the prior reported results, thereby demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed model that can provide guidance for system design and performance evaluation of massive MIMO V2V communication in street scattering environments.
