Abstract :
In analyzing propagation data, It is called "clustering" to classify arrival rays into groups (clusters) according to ToA (time of arrival) and AoA (angle of arrival). Extracting the parameters of each cluster is useful to understand the propagation characteristics in detail, and also to design the wireless system properly. This paper discusses a new clustering method which solves the problem the conventional clustering methods have.
