Abstract
A statistical model is developed for a narrowband mobile-to-mobile channel taking into consideration Rician scattering near receiving and transmitting antennas both individually and concomitantly. From the proposed channel model we obtain the probability density function of the received signal envelope, the time correlation function and RF spectrum of the received signal, and level crossing rates and average fade durations. We briefly discuss the impact of these parameters on communication networks supporting an intelligent vehicle highway system (IVHS).
