State duration statistics for different state models. Measured and resimulated state duration statistics of two single satellites (right) and of the combined states (left) for a single scenario (urban, elevation1 = 45°, elevation2 = 25°, azimuth separation = 45° ). Each model generates a combined state sequence of ‘good good’, ‘good bad’, ‘bad good’, and ‘bad bad’. To get the state sequences of the individual satellites this joint sequence is decomposed afterwards. The ideal dual-satellite model should describe correctly the state duration statistics and the state probabilities of the joint states as well as the state duration statistics and the state probabilities of each single satellite.
