Statistical modeling of a mobile radio channel

In this paper, comprehensive propagation loss measurements taken in the Ottawa region during the summers of 1983, 1984 and 1985 in the 900 MHz frequency band are reported and discussed. A new approach used to separate by filtering the slow and rapid variations components, is defined and described in details. Significant statistical parameters for a mobile radio channel, such as the mean, the standard deviation of the signals, the level crossing rates and the fading distances are presented.
