Mobile Radio Channels

Providing a comprehensive overview of the modelling, analysis andsimulation of mobile radio channels, this book gives a detailedunderstanding of fundamental issues and examines state-of-the-arttechniques in mobile radio channel modelling. It analyses severalmobile fading channels, including terrestrial and satelliteflat-fading channels, various types of wideband channels andadvanced MIMO channels, providing a fundamental understanding ofthe issues currently being investigated in the field.
Important classes of narrowband, wideband, and space-timewireless channels are explored in detail with descriptions ofefficient simulation methods for mobile radio channels beingcentral. Strong emphasis is placed on the detailed origin of thepresented channel models and a high degree of mathematical unity isconveyed. Using the described channel models, the reader canevaluate the performance of wireless communication systems underpropagation conditions which are typical for multipath channels invarious environments.
