MIMO Cluster Characteritics at 3.7 ㎓ in Urban Macrocell and Microcell Environment

Most of advanced radio channels use concept of multipath clusters which have similar MPCs . There are several ways to categorize clusters such as visual inspection method and window-based clustering algorithm. We suggest an automatic clustering algorithm consisting of two algorithms to improve the clustering performance. Cluster characteristics of urban microcell and macrocell are also suggested by means of number of clusters and some figures.
