Abstract :
This paper considers the influence of the cross-correlated shadowing between base-stations on network level simulations. A method to generate correlated shadow fading processes is proposed, which makes it possible to study position dependent correlation models between multiple base stations (BS). The method has been used for static network level simulations with different synthetic correlation models, both angle-of-arrival- and distance-dependent, in order to study the C/I outage gain for different frequency reuse patterns and BS sectorizations
