Abstract :
This paper examines the probability of erasure for a digital FSK mobile communication channel containing between 2 and 10 effective scatterers using Monte Carlo simulations. Quantitative results indicate the probability of erasure can be up to 25% more than that predicted by the Rayleigh model for the 2 scatterer channel.<>
