Level-crossing Rates and Average Fade Duration for Wireless Channels with Spatially Complicated Multipath
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper derives equations that describe level-crossing rates and average fade durations for mobile receivers operating in spatially complicated multipath channels. The results are useful for describing fading statistics for wireless systems that operate in realistic propagation channels or employ smart antennas, adaptive arrays, or other technologies that lead to a non-omnidirectional distribution of multipath power in space.

Theory of Multipath Shape Factors for Small-Scale Fading Wireless Channels
This paper presents a new theory of multipath shape factors that greatly simplifies the description of small-scale fading statistics of a wireless receiver. A method is presented for reducing a multipath channel with arbitrary spatial complexity to three shape factors that have simple intuitive geometrical interpretations. Furthermore, these shape factors are shown to describe the statistics of...

متن کاملComparison of the Level Crossing Rate and Average Fade Duration of Rayleigh, Rice, and Nakagami Fading Models with Mobile Channel Data
Level crossing rate (LCR) and average fade duration (AFD) of the signal envelope are two important second-order channel statistics, which convey useful information about the dynamic temporal behavior of multipath fading channels. In this paper and for a general non-isotropic scattering scenario, in which the mobile receives signal only from particular directions with different probabilities, we...
