Abstract

The computation of the tap gains of the discrete-time representation of a slowly time-varying multipath channel is investigated. Assuming the channel is wide-sense stationary with uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS), a known Monte Carlo based method approximating the given scattering function (which fully determines the WSSUS channel) is extended by including filtering and sampling. The result is a closed-form solution for the tap gains. This allows the efficient simulation of the continuous-time channel with, e.g., only one sample per symbol, and without explicit digital filtering
