1 Introduction

Mobile-to-mobile (M2M) land wireless communicationchannels are channels that arise when both the transmit andreceive stations are moving and are equipped with low el-evation antenna. For example, a moving vehicle in a givenplace might communicate with one or more mobile vehi-cles in other places. These systems have several applica-tions in traffic safety, rescue squads communication, con-gestion avoidance, etc. Recently, an international wirelessstandard, IEEE 802.11p, also referred to as Wireless Ac-cess in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) [1] has been de-veloped. Based on the WiFi technology, this standard isproposed for both mobile to mobile and mobile to infras-tructure traffic applications.

In order to cope with the challenge of developing andevaluating the performance of current and future mobile tomobile wireless communication systems, several researchresults have been published on the modelling of single in-put single output (SISO) mobile- to-mobile channels. In[2, 3], the statistical properties of narrowband SISO mobileto mobile multipath fading channel was investigated basedon models for the channel impulse response and transferfunction. The authors of [4] present results on the tempo-ral correlation properties and Doppler power spectral char-acteristics in 3D propagation environments. These resultshave shown that the fading and statistics of mobile to mo-

bile channel differ significantly from classical fixed to mo-bile channel where the transmitter is stationary. Channelmodels for wideband mobile to mobile wireless propaga-tion have also been reported (see e.g [5],[6] and the refer-ences therein).

In this paper, we investigate multipath parameter esti-mation and channel state prediction of doubly selective mo-bile to mobile channel fading channels. It is well knownfrom channel prediction studies for fixed to mobile chan-nels [7, 8, 9, 10, 11] that channel prediction offer signif-icant benefit in mitigating against performance loss frommultipath fading and improving the system performanceby providing both the transmitter and receiver with accu-rate prediction of the channel impulse response. We be-lieved that this fact, coupled with the faster variation ex-hibited by mobile to mobile channels, make channel pre-diction an important technique for mobile-to mobile chan-nels. Based on statistical model of the wideband mobile tomobile channel, we derive a model to jointly estimate theeffective Doppler frequencies and delays using super reso-lution subspace based Estimation of Signal parameters viaRotational Invariance Techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm andapplying the parameters estimates for predicting the fad-ing mobile to mobile channel impulse response in time andfrequency.

to mobile systems and derive a simple parametrized modelfor parameter estimation and prediction in wideband dou-bly selective propagation scenarios. In Section 3, we de-scribe the 2D ESPRIT based approach for jointly estimat-ing the delays and effective Doppler frequency along withthe least square complex amplitude estimation. In Section4, we present the parametric prediction based on the esti-mated parameters. Section 5 present some results from thenumerical simulations. Finally, conclusions are drawn inSection 6.

2 Channel Models

This section present the Rayleigh fading doubly selectiveSISO M2M channel considered in this paper along with areduced parametrized model for wideband mobile to mo-bile parameter estimation and prediction.

2.1 Wideband Mobile-to-Mobile ChannelModel

We consider a wideband SISO mobile to mobile wirelesscommunication system. Figure 1 shows an illustration ofthe mobile to mobile propagation in typical urban and sub-urban environments. Both the transmitter and receiver areassumed to be moving with velocities VT and VR, respec-tively. It is further assumed that both the transmitter andreceiver are equipped with low elevation omnidirectionalantennas. As shown in Fig. 1, a signal will arrive at the re-ceiver via scattering and reflection in all directions, by lo-cal scatterers/reflectors around the transmitter and receiverand all distant scattering mediums. It is also assumed thatthe line-of-sight (LOS) component is obstructed by obsta-cles between the transmitter and receiver. The complexRayleigh faded channel is thus modelled as [2, 3]

h(t, τ) =K∑k=1

αk exp(j[(ωTk+ωRk)t+φk])δ(τ−τk) (1)

where αk is the Rayleigh distributed amplitude for the kthpath, φk is the kth path phase parameter assumed to beuniformly distributed on (0, 2π), τk is the delay of the kthpaths and K is the number of propagation paths. ωTk andωRk are the radian Doppler shifts resulting for the mobilityof the transmitter and receiver, respectively and are givenby

ωTk =2π

λVT cos(θTk) (2)

ωRk =2π

λVR cos(θRk) (3)

Figure 1: Mobile to Mobile Wireless Transmission. Thepropagation channel is characterized by local scatterersaround both the transmitter and receiver and distant scat-tering sources.

where θTk and θRk are random angles of departure at thetransmitter and angles of arrival of the kth path respec-tively. λ is the carrier wavelength. As can be seen from(1), the receive signal will experience Doppler frequencyshifts due to the mobility of both the transmitter and re-ceiver. The dual mobility in mobile to mobile channels re-sult in more rapid temporal variation of the fading envelopewhen compared with classical mobile cellular system withfixed transmitter. It should be noted that the sum of si-nusoids model commonly used for SISO prediction studies(see e.g [12, 8, 10, 13]) is a special case of (1) with VT = 0.

2.2 Parametrized Model

In order to reduce the mobile-to-mobile channel predictionproblem to a sinusoidal parameter estimation problem, wedenote

βk = αk exp(jφk) (4)

and

ωk = ωTk + ωRk

=2π

λ(VT cos(θTk) + VR cos(θRk)) (5)

We will henceforth, refer to βk as the complex amplitudeof the kth path and ωk as the effective radian Doppler fre-quency. Substituting (4) and (5) into (1), we obtain

h(t, τ) =K∑k=1

βk exp(jωkt)δ(τ − τk) (6)

Page 3: Multipath Parameter Estimation and Channel Prediction for ...€¦ · long range prediction in doubly selective mobile to mobile channels. Key–Words: Multipath fading channels,

The parameters βk and ωk are assumed constant over theregion of interest1 The frequency response of the channelis obtained by taken the Fourier transform of (6) as

H(t, f) =K∑k=1

βk exp(jωkt− j2πfτk) (7)

where f denotes the frequency variable. We assumed thatL time domain samples and S frequency domain samplesof the channel are known either by transmitting known pilotsequences or from measurement. In practice, the estimatedor measured channel will be imperfect due to the effects ofbackground noise and interference. We therefore model theknown channel at time t and frequency f as

H(t, f) = H(t, f) + z(t, f) (8)

where H(t, f) is the actual channel and z(t, f) is a randomvariable that accounts for the effect of noise and interfer-ence assumed to be zero mean Gaussian with variance σ2

z .

3 Parameter Acquisition

In the previous section, we present the doubly selectivechannel model for mobile to mobile wireless propagationalong with a parametrized model for parameter extractionand channel prediction. In this section, we present the 2DESPRIT based parameter estimation scheme for jointly es-timating the delay and Doppler shifts of the multiple paths.

3.1 Joint Doppler Frequency and Delay Esti-mation

Assuming that the temporal sampling interval is ∆t andthat the frequency samples are spaced ∆f apart, the sam-pled frequency response can be written as

H(`, s) =

K∑k=1

βk exp(j`ωk∆t − j2πs∆fτk) (9)

where ` and s are the time and frequency indices respec-tively. Let h(s) = [H(1, s), H(2, s), · · · , H(L, s)]T ∈CL×1 be a vector containing the L frequency response withfrequency index s. h(s) corresponds to a vector containingall the temporal samples of the frequency response of thesth sub-carrier. We collect the frequency response for all

1This assumption has been shown to be valid for a horizon of Tvalid =√crmin3fcv2 in fixed to mobile systems [12]. rmin denotes the distance

between the mobile and the nearest scatterer/reflector. Further studies maybe required to develop similar analytical expression for mobile-to-mobilechannels. This is however, beyond the scope of this work.

subcarriers into a vector as

h =

h(S − 1)

Using (5) and (6), the data vector in (10) can be modelledas

h = Fβ + z (11)

whereF = G � U (12)

andβ = [β1, β2, · · · , βK ]T (13)

[·]T denotes the transpose operation, � denotes the Khatri-Rao column-wise Kronecker product and z ∈ CLS×1 is thenoise vector. The matrices G and U in (9) are defined as

Figure 2: Detailed block diagram of the proposed mobileto mobile prediction algorithm. The channel simulator gen-erates the channel impulse response using the multipathparameters and propagation scenario. The AWGN gen-erator adds a complex Gaussian noise with zero mean tothe channel and the covariance matrix is then estimated.The next block perform eigendecomposition of the covari-ance matrix and input the eigenvalues and eigenvectors tothe subspace dimension and 2D ESPRIT estimation blockswhere the number of sources and channel parameters areestimated. The complex amplitude is then estimated us-ing the estimated parameters. Finally, the prediction blockextrapolates the channel using a specified model and theparameter estimates.

We define the following selection matrices

J1ω =[I(L−1) 0(L−1)

]Jω1 = J1ω ⊗ IS

J2ω =[0(L−1) I(L−1)

]Jω2 = J2ω ⊗ IS

J1τ =[I(S−1) 0(S−1)

]Jτ1 = IL ⊗ J1τ

J2τ =[0(S−1) I(S−1)

]Jτ2 = IL ⊗ J2τ (19)

The matrices in (16) can then be obtained from F using

Fω1 = Jω1F

Fω2 = Jω2F

Fτ1 = Jτ1F

Fτ2 = Jτ2F (20)

Assuming that F is known, (16) can be solved for the de-lays and effective Doppler frequencies. However, F is un-known in practice but span the signal subspace. We forman Hankel matrix from the data in (10) as

H =

h(0) h(1) · · · h(P − 1)

h(1) h(2) · · · h(P )

......

. . ....

h(Q− 1) h(Q) · · · h(S − 1)

(21)

where P +Q = S + 1. The size of the Hankel matrix H islimited by the number of time and frequency samples of thechannel available from the estimation stage. The choice of

the Hankel size parameters is thus a compromise betweenaccuracy, identifiability and complexity. In order to have asufficiently large correlation matrix, we compute P using

P =

⌈2

3S

⌉(22)

where dAe denotes the smallest integer greater thanA. Thetime-frequency covariance matrix is then estimated using

R =HH†P

(23)

where † denotes Hermitian transpose. The signal sub-space matrix can be obtained from the singular value de-composition (SVD) or eigen value decomposition (EVD)of R. Based on the estimated eigenvalues, the numberof dominant paths can be estimated using the MinimumDescription length (MDL) criterion [14]. A modified ver-sion of MDL referred to as Minimum Mean Squared Error(MMSE) based Minimum Description Length (MDL) cri-terion is used for the estimation [15]

K = arg mini=1,··· ,QL−1

MMDL(i) (24)

where MMDL(i) is given by

MMDL(i) = P log(λi) +1

2(i2 + i) logP (25)

λi; i = 1, 2, · · · , QL are the eigenvalues of R. Once Khas been estimated, the signal subspace matrix Vs is ob-tained from the K eigenvectors corresponding to the largesteigenvalues of R. Similar to (16), we form the followinginvariance equation

Vsω1Φ1 = Vsω2

Vsτ1Φ2 = Vsτ2 (26)

where Φ1 and Φ2 are subspace rotated versions of γ1 andγ2 respectively. It has been shown that Φ1 and Φ2 [16, 17]can be used to estimate the Doppler frequencies and delays.Equation (26) can be solved in the least square sense toobtain

Φ1 = (V†sω1Vsω1)−1V†sω1Vsω2

Φ2 = (V†sτ1Vsτ1)−1V†sτ1Vsτ2 (27)

The parameter estimates are then obtained as

ω =arg(eig[Φ1])

∆t

τ = −arg(eig[Φ2])

2π∆f(28)

where arg(·) denotes the phase angle of the associatedcomplex number on (0, 2π] and eig[.] computes the eigen-values of the associated matrix.

3.2 Complex Amplitude Estimation

Once the effective Doppler frequencies and delays of ar-rival have been estimated, the complex amplitudes of theKdominant paths are computed via a solution of the set oflinear equations in (11) for the first subcarrier. We solvethe equations using regularized least squares as

β = (G†G + νI)−1G†h(0) (29)

where ν is a regularization parameter that is introduced tominimize the effects of errors in G on the predictor perfor-mance. We chose ν empirically in our simulations.

4 Channel Prediction

Using the estimated channel parameters, the mobile to mo-bile channel impulse response can be predicted into the fu-ture by substituting the parameters into (5) for the desiredtime instant. The predicted channel is given by

H(`+∆, s+δ) =

K∑k=1

βk exp(j(`+∆)ωk∆t−j2π(s+δ)∆fτk)

(30)where ∆ denotes the number of temporal samples ahead tobe predicted.

5 Numerical Simulations

In this section, we analyse the performance of the mobile tomobile parametric channel prediction algorithm proposedin this paper. The prediction error of the algorithm is eval-uated using the normalized mean squared error (NMSE)

where M is the number of snapshots. The wideband dou-bly selective time-varying channel is generated using theparameters in Table 1 (except where otherwise stated). InFigure 3, we plot the amplitude (i.e gain) of the frequencyselective mobile to mobile channel. It shows that the chan-nel exhibits both time and frequency variation. A similarobservation is made in Fig. 4 where we plot the phase (inradians) of the mobile to mobile channel. Compare to pre-vious results on fixed to mobile cellular systems, the tem-poral variation of the mobile to mobile channel is relativelyfaster. This is due to the additional Doppler spread intro-duced by the mobility of the transmitter. This agreed withobservations in [2, 3] where it was also shown that mobileto mobile channels has significantly different statistics. InFigure 5, we present a plot of the actual and estimated de-lays and effective Doppler frequencies for one realizationof the channel at SNR=20dB. As can be observed from theplot, the algorithm produces very accurate estimates of thechannel parameters for all the paths present in the chan-nel. Figure 6 shows a plot of the actual and predicted chan-nel gains at SNR=20dB for prediction horizon up to 0.5s.We observe the our algorithm is able to track the ampli-tude of the channel accurately even for such long predic-tion range. This is a tremendous improvement over previ-ously reported methods for fixed to mobile systems. Simi-larly, figure 7 presents the actual and predicted phase of thechannel for the same prediction horizon. We observed thatthe phase angle prediction is also very accurate except fora single instant where the algorithm produces some errorsin the phase. A typical variation of the channel across thefrequency samples is shown in figure 8 where we plot thechannel amplitude versus frequency values. We observethat our algorithm is also able to predict the channel accu-rately for all frequency instants. This is expected, since thealgorithm utilizes both the temporal and frequency statis-tics of the channel to aid the prediction. Finally, we presentthe normalized mean square error versus prediction lengthfor different SNR values in Figure 9. We observe that theprediction error increases with increasing prediction lengthand decreases with increasing SNR. A plausible explana-tion for this is that as you travel away from the predictionpoint, it becomes more difficult to predict the channel ac-curately and the parameter estimation accuracy improves

2The NMSE in our simulation is averaged over all the subcarriers inthe wideband system.
