Signal Level in Wireless Channels
• Three partially separableseparable effects:–– Slow fadingSlow fading (shadowing) is caused by large obstructions between transmitter
and receiver.–– Fast fadingFast fading is due to scattering of the signal by object near transmitter.–– Path lossPath loss is proportional to 1/rα, α is called path loss exponent. α =2 for free
space and is normally between 2.5 and 5 depending on the actual typography.

– @ 100 MHz (Okumura): 1/d2 + additional loss that depends on the environment.

Small-scale multipath (fast) fading• Wireless communication typically happens at very high
carrier frequency. (eg. fc = 900 MHz or 1.9 GHz for cellular)
• Multipath fading due to constructive and destructiveinterference of the transmitted waves.
• Channel varies when mobile moves a distance of the order of the carrier wavelength. This is about 0.3 m for 900 Mhz cellular.
• For vehicular speeds, this translates to channel variation of the order of 100 Hz.
• Primary driver behind wireless communication system design.

Wireless Channel Modeling• We wish to understand how physical parameters such as
– carrier frequency– mobile speed– bandwidth– delay spread
impact how a wireless channel behaves from the communication system point of view.
• We start with deterministic physical model and progress towards statistical models, which are more useful for design and performance evaluation.

Physical Models• Wireless channels can be modeled as linear time-
varying systems:
where ai(t) and τi(t) are the gain and delay of path i.• The time-varying impulse response is:
• Consider first the special case when the channel is time-invariant:

Doppler Spread
Doppler spread is proportional to:• the carrier frequency fc;• the angular spread of arriving paths.
where θi is the angle the direction of motion makes with the i th path.

Typical Channels are Underspread• Coherence time Tc depends on carrier frequency
and vehicular speed, of the order of milliseconds or more.
• Delay spread Td depends on distance to scatterers, of the order of nanoseconds (indoor) to microseconds (outdoor).
• Channel can be considered as time-invariant over a long time scale.

Statistical Models
• Design and performance analysis based on statistical ensemble of channels rather than specific physicalchannel.
• Rayleigh flat fading model: many small scattered paths
Complex circular symmetric Gaussian . Squared magnitude is exponentially distributed.• Rician model: 1 line-of-sight plus scattered paths

• High desnity of scatterers, heavy shadowing, delay spread up to 1-1.5 μs, no direct path, signal is due diffraction and scattering due to structures near the mobile.
• Number of resolvable paths depends on the signal bandwidth, signal is well modeled by the Rayleigh fading model.
–– Suburban:Suburban:• Lower density of strong scatterers, less shadowing, a direct path may exist,
delay spreads up to 1-1.5 μs and sometimes up to 15-20 μs due to large scatterers such as mountains or city skylines.
• Number of resolvable paths depends on the specific terrain, signal is well modeled by the Nakagami fading model with m from 1 to 15.

0.3 μs, mostly one peak.• Well modeled by Nakagami fading with m up to 100.
