Experimental results based on macro-cell metropolitian propagation measurements in Shanghai

The primary goal of this paper aims at providing the first experimental results of the wave propagation channels in an Asian booming metropolitan environment with dense high-rise buildings and a modern infrastructure construction. The study has been performed to the channel parameters, including path loss and shadow fading (SF), bridge loss, cross-polarization ratio (XPR), and delay spread (OS). Both the statistical distribution and their correlation properties have been investigated, through examining a set of measurement data, gathered in the city center of Shanghai. Furthermore, the impacts of the light rail-bridge and the high way-bridge on the channel parameters have been studied in the measured area.
