Abstract :
We analyse the statistical model for indoor multipath radio propagation, introduced by Saleh and Valenzuela (1987). We show that the moments of this random measure can be computed by elementary methods and parameter estimation from measurements of total power gain, mean and rms delay spread, can be performed using the method of moments. It is also shown, by approximate methods, how one may estimate parameters on the basis of mean excess delay and rms delay spread data only. The methods are illustrated with examples based on simulated data
