Inter- and Intrasite Correlations of Large-Scale Parameters from Macrocellular Measurements at 1800 MHz
EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking volume 2007, Article number: 025757 (2007)
Abstract
The inter- and intrasite correlation properties of shadow fading and power-weighted angle spread at both the mobile station and the base station are studied utilizing narrowband multisite MIMO measurements in the 1800 MHz band. The influence of the distance between two base stations on the correlation is studied in an urban environment. Measurements have been conducted for two different situations: widely separated as well as closely located base stations. Novel results regarding the correlation of the power-weighted angle spread between base station sites with different separations are presented. Furthermore, the measurements and analysis presented herein confirm the autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties of the shadow fading and the angle spread that have been observed in previous studies.
