Simplified airport surface channel model based on the WSSUS assumption

The paper proposes a channel model for an airport data link in taxi line-of-sight and parking non-line-of-sight scenarios. It is realized as a tapped-delay-line fulfilling WSSUS assumption within a data frame. Proposed channel parameters are derived from the measurement results and from the characteristic of the channel spreading function during an aircraft movement.
