GBSM-Based Birth–Death Channel Modeling of Scattering Clusters for Vacuum Tube Maglev Trains

This paper proposes an evolutionary modeling method of scattering clusters based on Geometric-Based Stochastic Modeling (GBSM). In the single-bounce scenario of vacuum pipeline maglev train communication, the dynamic generation and extinction process and statistical behavior of multiple clusters at high speed are analyzed. The model abstracts the multipath component into a cluster structure. By iteratively updating the channel state and the birth and death cluster information after initialization, a dynamic model of the evolution process of scattering clusters in time-varying channels is constructed, which depicts the time evolution process of multipath clusters. Under the framework of GBSM, the correlation statistical characteristics of the scattering cluster birth and death process are further derived, and analytical integral form expression of the channel time autocorrelation function (ACF) is theoretically solved. The simulation results reveal the inherent law of channel time-varying characteristics under the joint action of high-speed train operation and closed pipe structure, and the results show that the proposed method can effectively capture the transient dynamic characteristics and long-term statistical trends of multipath clusters. The proposed model provides a practical basis for channel modeling in vacuum tube maglev wireless communication systems.
