Predicted MIMO performance in intra-vehicle channels

Intra-vehicle channels experience moderate to extreme multipath fading, which is best modeled by the hyper-Rayleigh channel. Using this model, MIMO transmission was simulated over the ranges of K values that were measured in vehicles, from 8 dB to -150 dB. MIMO simulations resulted in consistent channel capacity regardless of varying K values, which predicts that MIMO provides consistent channel behavior over the wide range of fading experienced in vehicles, potentially allowing for robust and reliable intra-vehicle communication.
