Abstract—A new autoregressive based simulation model for mobile-to-mobile (M2M) Rayleigh fading channels is proposed. The new model is capable of generating correlated flat-fading M2M envelope processes with the desired auto-correlation functions, cross-correlation functions, and probability density functions (pdfs). The utility of the method is demonstrated by examples involving the accurate synthesis of non-isotropic M2M fading channel models. Furthermore, it is shown that the proposed model yields the statistical properties of the reference model in only one simulation trial. Performance comparisons are then made with popular fading generation techniques to demonstrate the merits of the approach.
