A novel channel model for relay MIMO cooperative communication based on the Geometrical two-ring

In this paper, a novel channel model on the relay multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) cooperative communication on the basis of the Geometrically Based Double-Bounce Model (GBDBM) is proposed. The correlation properties of the scattering components in the frequency-nonselective two-ring model are investigated. The closed-form solutions of the space-time cross-correlation function (CCF) in Rician fading MIMO relay channel is presented. The simulation results of CCF are analyzed for various spacing of antenna and moving velocities of the relay node (RN) and the destination node (DN).
