Abstract: A geometry-based stochastic model ( GBSM) for unmanned aerial vehicle to vehicle ( UAV-V) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wideband channel is proposed to investigate the characteristics of UAV-V channel. Based on the proposed model, a three-dimensional (3D) wideband channel matrix regarding channel numbers, time and delay is constructed. And some important channel characteristics parameters, such as power delay profile (PDP), root mean square ( RMS) delay spread, RMS Doppler spread, channel gain and Doppler power spectral density (PSD) are investigated with different vehicle velocities. It is much simpler and clearer compared with the complex analytical derivations. The results are compared with validated analysis to confirm the theoretical analysis.
