Abstract :
In previous work, it has been observed that the specular and the diffuse component are linked in the angular domain. The idea of adding a diffuse component to each specular cluster has been proposed to model the specular-diffuse channel. In this paper, an approach is proposed to treat the specular and the diffuse measurement data simultaneously, with a clustering algorithm that is applied jointly on the specular and the diffuse component. The output of the clustering algorithm gives clusters that are characterized by their specular and their diffuse component. Measurement results are presented based on double-directional measurements, and parameter values are extracted using the proposed methodology.
