Channel models
A channel model is derived from measurements.
It must be simple enough to allow analytical computation
of system performance,
It must be very close to the physical reality.
Models of different complexity and accuracy has been
developed.

Fast fading PDF
Experimentally, the fading amplitude tends to have a
Rayleigh distribution when there is no LOS and a
Rice distribution when there is a LOS.
It has a theoretical explanation.

If the channel impulse response is zero-mean complex
Gaussian, h( , t ) is Rayleigh-distributed and the phase
is uniformly distributed.
If it is not zero-mean i.e. there are fixed scatterers, it has
a Rice distribution.

Characterisation of
multipath channel
The more important parameters of a channel
are:
Delay Spread and Coherence Bandwidth, related
to frequency selectivity/time dispersion and
wideband/narrowband distinction.
Doppler Spread and Coherence Time, related to
time selectivity/frequency dispersion and fast
fading/slowly fading.

Multipath delay spread
Tm, the range of values of over which P() is nonzero is
called multipath delay spread of the channel or total
excess delay. It represents the time between the first
and the last tap.

the delay spread r.m.s. (called delay spread) and the
mean delay.

Coherence Bandwidth
By taking the Fourier transform of P ( ) we get the
frequency correlation function RH (f ) . It defines Bc the
coherence bandwidth of the channel.

Doppler Spread and Coherence Time

Doppler effect
Because of the mobility of the UE and of the obstacles,
the delays depend on the time.
A pure sinusoidal waveform is affected by a Doppler
broadening and a Doppler shift.

Coherence time
RH (t , f ) with f 0 defines the time correlation
function RH (t )
The range of values of t over which RH (t ) is non zero
is called the coherence time of the channel. It
represents the time between two de-correlated signal
variations. R (t )

Doppler spread
By taking the Fourier transform of the temporal
autocorrelation of the signal we get the Doppler Power
Density Spectrum. It defines Bd the Doppler Spread of

Doppler power density spectrum
A widely used model for P ( ), the Doppler power density,
is the Jakes model (1974). It is based on the assumption
that the angle of arrival of a received wave is an
uniformly distributed random variable.

Time selectivity
If the period of the transmitted symbols Ts<<Tc , the
channel is said to be slowly fading, the received signal
experiences error bursts.
