ON CHANNEL MODEL PARAMETERS FOR MICROCELLULAR CDMA SYSTEMS

Measured channel impulse response estimates are used to predict the pa rameters of the channel model needed to evaluate the performance of RA KE receivers in microcellular CDMA systems. A channel model consisting of a number of resolvable multipath components is assumed. The parame ters of interest are the relative average powers of the multipath comp onents, the probability distribution of multipath fading on each path, and the cross-correlation coefficients of multipath fading among the different multipath components. This paper presents statistics on thes e parameters for measurements made in outdoor urban microcellular and indoor environments at 910 MHz.
