Abstract

A simple method for simulating a propagation environment with temporal, azimuthal, and polarization dispersion is proposed. The channel is simply modeled by a time-variant number of discrete paths with different amplitude, delay, and azimuth. Each path is controlled by a birth death process in order to make the channel as dynamic as possible. All model parameters are extracted from experimental data. Simulation results are presented in order to illustrate how the model behaves
