Abstract

Geometrical models are mostly used for the study and analysis of the characteristics of radio communication channels. In this paper, a three-dimensional semi-ellipsoidal scattering model is proposed for mobile-to-mobile communication channels, where uniformly distributed scatterers are assumed to be confined within the semi-ellipsoids around mobile stations. The semi-ellipsoidal shape with adjustable dimensions is considered to model the scattering phenomenon in urban streets and canyons. Using the proposed scattering model, a closed-form expression for the joint probability density function of the Angle-of-Arrival in azimuth and elevation planes of the incoming multipath signals is derived at each mobile station. Moreover, various observations are made, which show the impact of scatterers’ elevation and streets’ orientation on the spatial characteristics of mobile-to-mobile communication channel.
