Abstract

We propose an autocorrelation model of SF (shadow fading) in LOS (line-of-sight) rural macro environments. The proposed model is based on the empirical autocorrelations obtained from wideband MIMO (multiple input multiple output) channel measurements at 2.38 and 3.705 GHz. It was found that the SF depends on frequency and so do the empirical autocorrelations. The proposed model provides good matches to empirical autocorrelations in the individual measurement routes.
