Abstract

High-altitude platforms are one of the most promising alternative infrastructures for realizing next generation high data rate wireless networks. This paper presents a three-dimensional (3-D) scattering model for land mobile stratospheric multipath-fading channel with its complex faded envelope. From the scattering model and the complex envelope second-order statistics are derived for a 3-D non-isotropic scattering environment. When we discuss on the second-order statistics we refer to the level crossing rate and the average fade duration, whichare two main parameters in describing the fading severity over time and are very important in assess system characteristics such as hand off, velocities of the transmitter and receiver and fading rate. Numerical calculations have been carried out to demonstrate theoretical derivations and the utility of the proposed model.
