A multipath mobile channel model for microcell environment

We present a geometric multipath propagation model for a microcell mobile environment. The model provides the statistics for the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of multipath components; also it provides the multipath power delay profiles (PDP), which are used to evaluate the bit error rate (BER) and the signal to interference ratio (SIR) for the direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA). The probability density function (pdf) for the DOA under the proposed model is compared with experimental results for indoor multipath channel. The experimental results agree with the proposed model's simulation results.
