Abstract

In this paper, statistical characterizations of mobile radio channels that do not satisfy the assumption of wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) are discussed, most importantly the local scattering function. The framework presented is particularly suited for doubly underspread non-WSSUS channels. Application examples and measurement results illustrate its practical usefulness.

Abstract

In diesem Artikel wird die statistische Beschreibung von Mobilfunkkanälen behandelt, welche nicht die Annahme schwach stationärer unkorrelierter Streuer erfüllen. Besondere Beachtung hierbei findet die lokale Streufunktion. Die vorgestellten Methoden, welche besonders für schwach dispersive und schwach korrelierte Kanäle geeignet sind, werden anhand von Anwendungsbeispielen und Messergebnissen veranschaulicht.
