A semi-stochastic radio propagation model for wireless MIMO channels

Abstract

Among current physical channel models, deterministic models, such as ray-launching, are accurate but site-specific. Geometry-based stochastic models are flexible, however, cannot benefit if site information is available. In this work, a semi-stochastic MIMO channel model is proposed. It integrates results from deterministic models into stochastic models, merging the advantages of both approaches.
