In-Stationary Tapped Delay Line Channel Modeling and Simulation

An essential tool in the performance analysis of communication systems is a tractable and accurate propagation channel model. The aim of this paper is to discuss the implementation of tapped delay line channel model for vehicle to infrastructure channels and devise a generator to produce a channel impulse response based on an already derived model parameters from measurement data. The root-mean square delay spread is used for a model validation between simulated and collected data on the basis of how well they agree. The analysis investigates correlation coefficient among taps persistence, as well as, modeling persistence process. The results illustrate that only few taps are essential to regenerate accurately the delay spread.
