The Correlation Matrix Model of Capacity Analysis in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle MIMO Channel
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: The 3D-GBSBCM (Geometrically Based Single Bounce Cylinder Model) channel model is applied in UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) MIMO communication system which involves direct, reflection and diffuses components. The concise and precise space-time-frequency correlation functions of the UAV channel model are presented. Methods of channel matrix factorization and channel coefficient normalization are applied to deduce the correlation matrix of UAV-MIMO channel. We also use the assumed parameters of correlation matrix to simulate and analyze the influence of antenna distribution on UAV-MIMO channel capacity when the parameters of channel are certain. The simulation results have good reference and application value in the configuration and collocation of antennas in UAV-MIMO system.
