In this paper, we describe a new wideband singleinput– single-output (SISO) channel model for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channels, based on an extensive measurement campaign carried out at 5.2 GHz around Helsinki, Finland, in August 2007. Both the currently well-known non-stationary behavior and the measured characteristics of the V2V channel motivate the use of a geometry-based stochastic channel modeling (GSCM) approach rather than a classical tapped delay line (TDL) approach. For the time-variant contributions stemming from discrete scatterers, the propagation distance can be deterministically estimated (i.e., geometrically), whereas the fading can be modeled as the combination of a distance-decaying process and two stochastic small- and large-scale processes. The complete parameterization of the V2V wideband channel model, the recipe for its implementation, and the analysis of its validity are also provided in this paper.
