Abstract :
Distinction between different propagation paths can be done by their delay, angle of arrival, angle of departure and Doppler-frequency. This also yields a possibility to have a measure that calculates a grade of (dis-) similarity between different multipath components. This work introduces the (dis-) similarity measure by introducing the concept of distance function that has been developed to provide a formal description for measuring distance between two points in a vector space. This measure provides some knowledge about multipath components clustering in different domains.
