Abstract :
A new statistical channel model known as the Multiple Scatterer Channel (MSC) is developed to capture the time variations of both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) fixed indoor communication (FIC) channels. It is shown that, when the statistics of the signal scatterers (e.g., speed distributions and locations) are known, the MSC model can capture the time variations of any FIC channel because its parameters can be estimated via ray tracing.
