A statistical wideband mobile radio channel model including the directions-of-arrival

A statistical wideband mobile radio channel model including the directions-of-arrival is presented. This model is derived by extending conventional statistical tap-delay-line models of the mobile radio channel to take into account the directions-of-arrival. It is shown how the parameters of this model can be adapted to measurement results obtained in outdoor macrocellular environments. Statistical wideband mobile radio channel models including the directions-of-arrival are essential for assessing, developing, evaluating and optimizing adaptive directional antenna concepts for future mobile radio systems.
