Mobile Radio Channels (ePub)

Providing a comprehensive overview of the modelling, analysis and
simulation of mobile radio channels, this book gives a detailed
understanding of fundamental issues and examines state-of-the-art
techniques in mobile radio channel modelling. It analyses several
mobile fading channels, including terrestrial and satellite
flat-fading channels, various types of wideband channels and
advanced MIMO channels, providing a fundamental understanding of
the issues currently being investigated in the field.

Important classes of narrowband, wideband, and space-time
wireless channels are explored in detail with descriptions of
efficient simulation methods for mobile radio channels being
central. Strong emphasis is placed on the detailed origin of the
presented channel models and a high degree of mathematical unity is
conveyed. Using the described channel models, the reader can
evaluate the performance of wireless communication systems under
propagation conditions which are typical for multipath channels in
various environments.
