Abstract

Reliable wireless communication links are a critical but challenging aspect for high-speed railway (HSR). To develop and analyze such systems, accurate models for the propagation channel are required. The radio channel properties in HSR scenarios are different from those in cellular scenarios not only due to the high velocity, but also due to the special construction elements and the type of surroundings along the train lines. We performed a measurement campaign at a carrier frequency of 2.4 GHz on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen dedicated high-speed train line in China. Motivated by the results from these measurements, we propose the concept of active scatterer region as an improvement for geometry-based stochastic channel models for HSR, to... (More)

Reliable wireless communication links are a critical but challenging aspect for high-speed railway (HSR). To develop and analyze such systems, accurate models for the propagation channel are required. The radio channel properties in HSR scenarios are different from those in cellular scenarios not only due to the high velocity, but also due to the special construction elements and the type of surroundings along the train lines. We performed a measurement campaign at a carrier frequency of 2.4 GHz on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen dedicated high-speed train line in China. Motivated by the results from these measurements, we propose the concept of active scatterer region as an improvement for geometry-based stochastic channel models for HSR, to better describe the non-stationary properties of such channels. Further contributions to the total channel impulse response are also studied, including the line-of-sight component and the scattering component from overhead line poles. Each type of component is modeled and fully parameterized based on the measurement results.
