Abstract :
This paper presents the results of indoor and outdoor field trial measurements in order to obtain the probability density functions and the autocorrelation functions of the fading parameters of the κ-μ distribution. The ranges of possible practical values of the κ and μ fading parameters are also obtained from the empirical data. In addition, the instantaneous magnitude variations of κ and μ considering the mobile receiver displacement are estimated and discussed. The results provide important information about the practical usefulness of the κ-μ fading model in mobile communication systems.
