Abstract

The strongest ray analysis based on the computer simulation of wave propagation between a base station(BS) and mobile stations(MSs) is carried out to obtain the spatial-time wideband channel characteristics. The strongest rays are responsible for about 70% of the total received power for BS-MS pairs on the average and their arrival angles rarely deviate from the shortest path lines between a BS and MSs. However, this does not mean that the strongest ray is necessarily the first arrived ray for each BS-MS pair. The AOA statistics reveal that AOAs of the strongest and the second strongest rays are very close to each other for uplink channel, while those are quite apart for downlink channel.
