A Statistical Model for Urban Radio Propogation

A statistical model, based on extensive experimental data, was established to characterize the urban radio propagation medium in various urban environments. Describing the medium by a linear filter, the peaks of the multipath response were analyzed statistically concerning the distribution of the path strength and the path arrival time. The statistical properties of these quantities depend on the modulation delay time. The resulting model can be used for simulation experiments in order to avoid costly hardware tests of ad hoc systems.
