Distributions of multipath delay spread and average excess delay for 910-MHz urban mobile radio paths

Distributions of average excess delay and delay spread for Gaussian wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering channels associated with 100 small scale areas at different locations within a 2 \times 2.5 -km region of New York City are presented. For delay spread the mean is 1.3 \mu s, the standard deviation is 0.6 \mu s, the maximum value observed is 3\frac{1}{2}\mu s, and 10 percent of the areas exceeded 2\frac{1}{2} \mu s; for average excess delay the mean is 1.1 \mu s, the standard deviation is 0.9 \mu s, the maximum is 4 \mu s, and 10 percent of the areas exceeded 2 \mu s. The region is representative of the heavily built-up areas of many large cities in the United States.
