This letter rigorously derives explicit closed-form expressions for the joint/marginal probability density functions of the uplink/downlink multipaths' time-of-arrival (TOA) and azimuth angle-of-arrival (AOA) in a wireless-communication fading channel. This derivation is based on a new "geometrical model" of omnidirectional scatterers as spatially distributed uniformly on a two-dimensional hollow-disc (i.e., a thick ring) centered upon the mobile. By varying the hollow-disc's thickness, this spatial density degenerates to the well-known uniform-ring or uniform-disc densities.Index Terms-Dispersive channels, fading channels, land mobile radio cellular systems, land mobile radio diversity systems, land mobile radio equipment, mobile communication, radio communication equipment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
