Abstract
In this paper, we propose an extended reference model and two novel Sum-of-Sinusoids (SoS) models (statistical and deterministic simulation models) propagation models considering the Rician K-factor and vehicle speed ratio in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). Our models consider comprehensive scene of wave propagation in VANETs, including infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) channels with a LOS or NLOS environment, inter-vehicle communication (IVC) channels with a LOS or NLOS environment. The analysis of the statistical properties of the proposed models show that the statistics of the new models match those of the reference model at a large range of normalized time delays. The proposed models show improved approximations to the desired auto-correlation and faster convergence with the increase of Rician K-factor and vehicle speed ratio.
