This letter addresses the limitations of the stochastic channel simulation approach employed in wireless channels when directly applied to underwater channels. First it is shown analytically why the simulation method fails when the correlated taps each have a different Doppler spectrum. Then, based on the idea of local scattering functions, we propose a simple solution to the problem of simulating a channel with correlated taps where the correlated taps occur in subgroups with each of the subgroups having a different Doppler spectrum, applicable to underwater channels. Our simulation approach is tested successfully on the KAM08 channel.
