An empirical approach to the prediction of the channel capacity in ultra wideband indoor propagation channels

Based on the results of the simulation of a deterministic multi-path propagation scenario it has been shown that for ultra wideband signals the received power does not show any fading characteristics but follows the simple log distance path loss model even in a dense multi-path environment. Furthermore, a similar log distance law has been derived for the channel capacity and a direct relation between the path loss exponent of the log distance path loss model and the capacity decrease has been found.
