THEORY OF STOCHASTIC LOCAL AREA CHANNEL

(ABSTRACT)
This report was written to satisfy the final dissertation requirements toward a doctoral
degree in electrical engineering. The dissertation outlines work plished in the pursuit
of this degree. This report is also designed to be a general introduction to the concepts and
techniques of small-scale radio channel modeling. At the present time, there does not exist
prehensive introduction and overview of basic concepts in this field. Furthermore, as
the wireless industry continues to mature and develop technology, the need is now greater
than ever for more sophisticated channel modeling research.
Each chapter of this preliminary report is, in itself, a stand-alone topic in channel
modeling theory. Culled from original reports and journal papers, each chapter makes a
unique contribution to the field of channel modeling. Original contributions in this report
include
joint characterization of time-varying, space-varying, and frequency-varying channels
under the rubric of duality
rules and definitions for constructing channel models that solve Maxwell’s equations
overview of probability density functions that describe random small-scale fading
techniques for modeling a small-scale radio channel using an angle spectrum
overview of techniques for describing fading statistics in wireless channels
