LEO Downlink Channel Model Revisited: Scattering Geometry-Inspired Derivation
This paper presents a new derivation of LEO-to-ground receiver channel model to address a clear gap in the prior art: the lack of an appropriate geometry aware characterization of non LOS (NLOS) link model represented by the power spectral density (PSD). Specifically, the main contribution is a coherent derivation of the PSD from 1st principles that is able to reproduce results in prior art and explain the causal relationship of main PSD features to the propagation geometry parameters.
