MIMO-OFDM is a key technology for next-generation cellular communications (3GPP-LTE,
Mobile WiMAX, IMT-Advanced) as well as wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11 a, IEEE 802.11 n) …

This book results from my teaching and research activities at the Technical University of
Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH), Germany. It is based on my German book “Mobilfunkkanäle …

For multihop and ad hoc networks, a conventional 1-D channel model cannot capture the
spatial correlation of the shadowing processes. This paper investigates the joint spatial …

Two analytical methods for determining the packet error rate in the non-interleaved Rayleigh
fading channel are presented. The first method is an exact evaluation of the packet error …

Within the European PROMETHEUS research program, the DLR has the task of
investigating the 60 GHz link and developing a channel model. Some propagation effects for …

This paper describes a procedure for the design of fast simulation models for Rayleigh
fading channels. The presented method is based on an efficient implementation of Rice's …

In this paper a framework for the development of a versatile statistical land mobile satellite
(LMS) channel model, both narrow-and wide-band, is presented. First, a review is made of …

An approach to designing and evaluating protocols for a class of mobile radio networks is
presented. Characteristics of these mobile radio LANs are described, derived from the …

It has been shown that a transmission range of 500 m with direct line of sight is achievable at
60 GHz with directional antennas and a transmission power below 2 W. If the line of sight is …

It is shown how Rician fading limits the performance of the HDLC protocol. It is observed that
for accurate reception, a packet must be transmitted entirely during an interfade interval. This …
