A Radio Environment Map (REM) maps its geolocation information to the propagation characteristics as complementary information for an adaptive communication of cognitive radio (CR). In this paper we propose a novel theoretical three dimension (3D) Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channel model. The proposed model parameterizes the geolocation information of interacting obstacles referred as scatterers. An efficient response distribution function (ERDF) is developed to interpolate the array response for an arbitrary scatterer location. It is shown that the mutual information of the proposed model is consistent with a conventional geometry-based model with the lower simulation time. It allows us to generate channels with all possible scatterer distribution on the surface of a building effectively.
