The simulation of independent Rayleigh faders

Multiple independent Rayleigh fading waveforms are often required for the simulation of wireless communications channels. Jakes (1974) Rayleigh fading model and its derivatives based on the sum-of-sinusoids provide simple simulators, but they have major shortcomings in their simulated correlation functions. A novel sum-of-sinusoids fading model is proposed and verified, which generates Rayleigh fading processes satisfying the theoretical independence requirements and providing desired power spectral densities with ideal second-order moment. The effects of replacing sinusoids in the proposed model by their approximate waveforms are also analyzed and tested. Performance evaluation and comparison are provided, using the quality measures of the mean-square-error of autocorrelation function and the second-order moment of the power spectral density.     

A New Design Concept for High-Performance Fading Channel Simulators Using Set Partitioning

In this paper, we introduce a new technique for the design of high-performance Rayleigh fading channel simulators. The proposed design method uses set partitioning – a technique, which plays a key role in the design of trellis-coded modulation schemes. We show how set partitioning can be used to design multiple uncorrelated fading waveforms enabling the simulation of Rayleigh fading channels. For the important case of isotropic scattering, we show that the sample average of the generated waveforms results in a deterministic process, the autocorrelation function (ACF) of which tends to the zeroth-order Bessel function of the first kind as the number of sample functions increases. The proposed procedure is completely deterministic. The comparison with a stochastic procedure using Monte Carlo techniques will be made. A study of the performance shows clearly that the new technique using set partitioning outperforms by far existing Monte Carlo methods.     

Jakes fading model revisited

The Jakes fading model is a deterministic method for simulating time-correlated Rayleigh fading waveforms and is still widely used today. However, since it is difficult to create multiple uncorrelated fading waveforms with this model, the authors propose modifications to the model which solve this problem.<>     

A Method for Simulating Complex Nakagami Fading Time Series With Nonuniform Phase and Prescribed Autocorrelation Characteristics

The availability of an accurate and systematic channel simulation technique is critical for the verification of the performance of digital radio transceivers designed for use on wireless channels. Despite the abundant results on channel simulation techniques available in the literature, an accurate technique for simulating Nakagami- $m$ fading signals that have nonuniform phase distributions and any prespecified temporal autocorrelation function is not yet available. Such a technique is reported for the first time in this paper. We develop new cumulative distribution function (cdf) mapping methods to generate complex Nakagami sequences from complex Gaussian sequences, based on the independent transformation of their real and imaginary parts. Additionally, we analyze the relationships between the autocorrelation functions of Rayleigh and Nakagami fading signals to determine the autocorrelation function of Rayleigh input that is required to produce a specified autocorrelation function for the Nakagami output. Then, we implement the mapping algorithm to transform Rayleigh sequences with the so-determined autocorrelation functions into Nakagami sequences with the desired prespecified autocorrelation functions. Simulation results verify that our approaches can lead to the accurate simulation of Nakagami fading signals with prespecified autocorrelation functions and nonuniform phase distributions.      

Accurate Simulation of multiple cross-correlated Rician fading channels

The computer generation of multiple cross-correlated Rician fading channels is investigated. We prove that the output sequences of existing multichannel fading simulators are restricted to have cross-correlation statistics that have the same functional form as the component autocorrelation functions. To overcome this limitation, vector autoregressive stochastic models are proposed for the generation of multiple Rician fading processes with specified realizable autocorrelation and cross-correlation statistics. This capability is desirable, for example, to permit realistic performance assessments of space-time modem designs by enabling the simulation of space-time-selective wireless channel models. The utility of the simulation approach is demonstrated by the accurate synthesis of some bandlimited multichannel Rayleigh and Rician processes.     

Simulation models with correct statistical properties for Rayleigh fading channels

In this paper, new sum-of-sinusoids statistical simulation models are proposed for Rayleigh fading channels. These new models employ random path gain, random initial phase, and conditional random Doppler frequency for all individual sinusoids. It is shown that the autocorrelations and cross correlations of the quadrature components, and the autocorrelation of the complex envelope of the new simulators match the desired ones exactly, even if the number of sinusoids is as small as a single-digit integer. Moreover, the probability density functions of the envelope and phase, the level crossing rate, the average fade duration, and the autocorrelation of the squared fading envelope which contains fourth-order statistics of the new simulators, asymptotically approach the correct ones as the number of sinusoids approaches infinity, while good convergence is achieved even when the number of sinusoids is as small as eight. The new simulators can be directly used to generate multiple uncorrelated fading waveforms for frequency selective fading channels, multiple-input multiple-output channels, and diversity combining scenarios. Statistical properties of one of the new simulators are evaluated by numerical results, finding good agreements.     

An Improved Deterministic SoS Channel Simulator for Multiple Uncorrelated Rayleigh Fading Channels

The generation of multiple uncorrelated Rayleigh fading waveforms is often demanded for simulating wideband fading channels, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels, and diversity-combined fading channels. In this letter, an improved deterministic sum-of-sinusoids (SoS) channel simulator with a new parameter computation method is proposed to simulate a large number of uncorrelated Rayleigh fading processes. Compared with the existing SoS channel simulators, the proposed deterministic SoS model yields a much better simulation efficiency while still preserving satisfactory approximations to the desired statistical properties of the reference model.
