Abstract

This paper proposes a three-dimensional (3-D) geometry-based reference model for cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) in narrowband fading channels, when high altitude platforms (HAPs) are involved. Both line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) propagation conditions are assumed in the transmission links from a HAP to a terrestrial mobile station (TMS). Based on this model, the cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) is derived as a function of critical model parameters, such as the elevation angle of the platform and the distribution of the scatterers.
