Abstract

In this article, we propose a new test to determine the intervals of stationarity for wireless communication channels. The intervals of stationarity are identified by comparing the delay power spectral density (PSD) estimated at different time instances. The performance of the proposed stationarity test has been evaluated based on the synthetic data generated using a channel simulator. The analysis of the stationarity intervals for two radio communication channels measured in different propagation scenarios reveals that the number and the length of the stationarity intervals decrease as the dimensions of the channel matrix increase.
