Many applications in the emerging smart environments, such as smart cities and intelligent transportation, require an accurate situational awareness, i. e. , information about presence and location of all users in the environment.

The aim of this thesis is to introduce a non-stationary model for the scattering in mobile-to-mobile channels. Due to the evolution of wireless technology, fixed-to-mobile communications systems are nowadays complemented by mobile-to-mobile communications systems.

Zur Kapazitätserhöhung in zellularen Mobilfunksystemen eignet sich der Einsatz adaptiver Antennen an der Basisstation. Diese ermöglichen die räumliche Wiederverwendung von Kanälen innerhalb einer Zelle mittels Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA).

Inflight internet access during oceanic flight is nowadays realized via satellite communication systems, which are costly and suffer from long propagation delays.
