Abstract
We have developed a computer simulation for a new multi-state fading channel model. Multi-state models can yield more accurate fading amplitude time series than can single state models. Our initial multi-state model is aimed at mobile satellite channels. We use the simulation to verify a new multi-state model, but the simulator can be used for general-purpose simulation of any multi- (or single-) state fading model. We validate this simulation against both theory and measured data, using the second-order statistics of average fade duration and level crossing rate.
