For simulations of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) Rayleigh fading channels under more realistic non-isotropic scattering scenarios, we propose a new parameter computation method for the design of sum-of-sinusoids (SoS) simulation models. Compared with the existing relevant methods, the proposed method has the same simulation efficiency but provides a better approximation to the desired statistical properties of the theoretical reference model.
