Chapter 5: Mobile Radio Propagation:
Small-Scale Fading and Multipath Introduction Reflection, Diffraction and Scattering of waves Most cellular systems operate in urban area, where no direct line-of-site path between Rx and Tx Presence of high rise buildings causes severe diffraction loss Due to multiple reflections, em waves travel along different paths of varying lengths Propagation models focused on predicting average received signal strength at a given distance from transmitter Models predicting mean signal strength for an arbitrary T-R separation distance are large scale models Models that characterize rapid fluctuations of received signal strength over very short distances or short time intervals are small scale models Co-channel and Adjacent Channel Interference, Propagation Small-scale and large-scale fading
