Abstract

In this paper a framework for the development of a versatile statistical land mobile satellite (LMS) channel model, both narrow- and wide-band, is presented. First, a review is made of the different model elements that can be described statistically. Another specification set for the development of a comprehensive statistical model is that some physical/geometrical information should be included in spite of its fully statistical nature. The model shall be valid for applications such as communications, broadcast, navigation, etc., also it must consider different orbit types, and frequency bands. This paper summarises some of the activities to be carried out under ESA (European Space Agency) Contract No 12409/97/NL/NB for the development of a “Statistical Model for the LMS Channel”
