Abstract

The spatiotemporal characteristics of line-of-sight and non line-of-sight propagation cases are measured on a street in the central Tokyo area. The results indicate that most arrival signals in the line-of-sight case propagate along the road and are assumed to be approximated by the ray model. The results in the non line-of-sight case indicate that most arrival signals propagate along the road and are scattered around the nearest crossing, and then arrive at the shadowed area
