Optimal Approximation of the Impulse Response of Wireless Channels by Stochastic Differential Equations

Abstract

Wireless communication networks are characterized by nodes and scatters mobility which make the propagation environment time-varying and subject to fading. These variations are captured by random time-varying impulse responses. The latter are fairly general finite energy functions of both time and space that cannot be specified by a finite number of parameters. In this letter, we show that the impulse responses can be approximated in a mean square sense as close as desired by impulse responses that can be realized by stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The behaviors of the SDEs are characterized by small finite dimensional parameter sets.
