Title
Impact of UAV Rotation on MIMO Channel Space-Time Correlation
Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications are envisioned to support numerous applications in the fifth and sixth generations wireless networks. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) non-stationary semi-spherical geometrical model is proposed for narrowband multi-input multi-output (MIMO) UAV channels. The Gauss-Markov mobility model is used to characterize the UAV rotation for the first time, which results in time-varying elevation and orientation angles of the antenna array and further leads to channel non-stationarity. Based on the proposed model, the space-time correlation function is derived and investigated in terms of the UAV movements (including pitch, roll, and heave). These observations and conclusions can be used as a reference for the system design and performance analysis of UAV-MIMO communication systems.
