Abstract :
A mobile radio channel is usually characterized by superposition of three independent components which reflect small-, medium-, and large-scale propagation effects. The contributions of each of these components are considered. Emphasis is made on the effect of shadow fading (the medium-scale propagation component), which is important in handover decision making in cellular networks
