Slow Fading Cross-Correlation Against Azimuth Separation of Base Stations

A model is proposed to describe the cross-correlation of slow fading signals received from non-colocated base stations. The model summarises the results obtained from a bootstrap analysis of 900 MHz urban area propagation measurements.
