Correlation Bandwidth and Delay Spread Multipath Propagation Statistics for 910-MHz Urban Mobile Radio Channels

Distributions of delay spread and correlation bandwidth at 0.9 and 0.5 correlation for Gaussian wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (GWSSUS) channels associated with 100 small-scale areas at different locations within a 2 × 2.5 km region of New York City are presented. For delay spread the maximum value observed was
3\frac{1}{2};\mu
s and l0 percent of the areas exceeded
2\frac{1}{2}\mu
s; for correlation bandwidth at 0.9 correlation the minimum was 20 kHz and 10 percent of the areas were less than 30 kHz; for correlation bandwidth at 0.5 correlation the minimum was 55 kHz and 10 percent of the areas were less than 130 kHz. The region is representative of the heavily built-up areas of many large cities in the United States.
