Modeling three different types of multipath components for mobile radio channel

In the wireless channel, a signal propagates from the transmitter to the receiver along certain geometrical paths. Along each path, interactions between the signal and physical objects may occur. According to distinct interaction phenomena, different models of individual multipath components (MPCs) are needed for accurate simulations of propagation affects. In this paper, we consider MPCs due to reflection, scattering and combinations of both. Three types of MPCs are individually defined and modeled. Based on channel measurement data, the characteristics of each different type of MPC is presented in this paper.
