Abstract :
A three-dimensional (3-D) geometrical propagation model for multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) mobile-to-mobile (M-to-M) communications is proposed. Based on the geometrical model, a 3-D reference model for MIMO M-to-M multipath fading channels is proposed. From the reference model, a closed-form joint space-time correlation function is derived for a 3-D non-isotropic scattering environment and it is show that many existing correlation functions are special cases of the derived space-time correlation function.
