Abstract
The cellular land mobile radio is driven by requirements for high teletraffic capacity of many concurrent users in the same service area, and high transmission quality, reaching to wired telephone quality. The transmission environment in this service is demanding - excess propagation loss and heavy multipath, due to obstructions which are abundant in the urban environment, vary and fluctuate in time as the mobile user is in motion. Cellular telecommunication systems’ architecture and signal design are designed to counter the impairments of the transmission by the channel. Simple statistical characterization of the channel, based on sample measurements or on otherwise generic statistical assumptions, is far from providing the spatial-time channel variations as required for description and analysis of its interaction with the communications system. An arsenal of physically-based canonical propagation models serve as a solid basis for an insight into the interaction process, while the statistical coating covers for the unknown exact behavior.
