Distributions of multipath delay spread and average excess delay for 910-MHz urban mobile radio paths

Distributions of average excess delay and delay spread for Gaussian wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering channels associated with 100 small scale areas at different locations within a2 \times 2.5-km region of New York City are presented. For delay spread the mean is1.3 \mus, the standard deviation is0.6 \mus, the maximum value observed is3\frac{1}{2}\mus, and 10 percent of the areas exceeded2\frac{1}{2} \mus; for average excess delay the mean is1.1 \mus, the standard deviation is0.9 \mus, the maximum is4 \mus, and 10 percent of the areas exceeded2 \mus. The region is representative of the heavily built-up areas of many large cities in the United States.
