State Modelling of the Land Mobile Propagation Channel with Multiple Satellites

Figure 5

Correlation coefficient (a), state probability (b), and mean state duration (c) for the three-satellite constellation mappings (Mapping 1 and Mapping 2) from Figure 4. Data was taken from measurements of 5.4 km length in a suburban environment. Resimulation gives the following results: clearly, the resulting correlation coefficient between the slave satellites deviates for Mapping 2. The joint state probability is modelled accurately in case of Mapping 1, while Mapping 2 shows deviations. The mean state duration shows deviations in all cases (notation of states: g—“good,” b—“bad,” ggg—“good good good,” etc.).
