The COST 2100 channel model is a geometry-based stochastic channel model (GSCM) that can reproduce the stochastic properties of multi-link Multiple-Input Mulitple-Output (MIMO) channels over time, frequency and space. By contrast to other popular GSCMs, the COST 2100 approach is generic and flexible, making it suitable to model multiuser or distributed MIMO scenarios. In this paper a concise overview of the COST 2100 channel model is presented. Main concepts are described, together with useful implementation guidelines. Recent developments, including dense multipath components, polarization and multi-link aspects are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
