IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, 22(6), 1406-1410. https://doi.org/10.1109/LAWP.2023.3243696.1536-122510.1109/LAWP.2023.3243696https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/46154Vehicular communication channels are subject to high nonstationarity mainly characterized by the scatterers’ and/or transceivers’ high mobility. In this sense, this letter presents a characterization of the channel quasi-stationarity regions (QSR) in a V2X generic high-dense urban environment at millimeter wave frequencies (28 GHz). Results are extracted from multiple snapshot simulations by means of a three-dimensional ray-launching algorithm inducing the continuous mobility of the vehicles on the scene and validated with an experimental campaign of measurements in the real scenario. The average power delay profile correlation matrix is used as a descriptor of the channel nonstationarity and the mean correlation is outlined for several thresholds. The obtained QSR results are consistent with the related works reported in the literature. Finally, the effects of these QSR in small- and large-scale parameters are assessed as per threshold considerations.application/pdfengThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 LicenseCorrelation matrixNonstationarityQuasi-stationarity regions (QSRs)Three-dimensional ray-launching (3-D-RL)V2Xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article2023-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
