The performance of distributed communication systems is commonly subject to the cross-correlation characteristics of multi-link channels. In this paper, we concentrate on the modeling of multi-link small-scale fading (SSF) channels in high-speed train (HST) communication networks with distributed base stations according to the classical geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM). To appropriately describe a multi-link propagation scenario in the HST communication network, a novel geometrical model considering a line-of-sight component, a single-bounced one-ring model, and a double-bounced ellipse-ring model is proposed. Based on the proposed GBSM, the expression of multi-link channel impulse responses (CIRs) is obtained, and multi-link cross-correlation functions are derived and used for numerical analysis. In addition, realistic channel measurements are conducted in the existing HST long-term evolution (LTE) networks and multi-link CIRs are acquired using a time delay window-based partitioning scheme. Finally, the SSF cross-correlation coefficient is extracted by the multi-link channel data and is used to validate the utility of the proposed model.
