Model parameters CM1CM2CM3CM4

[1/nsec] (cluster arrival rate) 0.02330.40.06670.0667
[1/nsec] (ray arrival rate) 2.50.52.12.1
(cluster decay factor) 7.15.51424
(ray decay factor) 4.36.77.912
CM1 model is based on LOS (0–4 m) channel measurement.                                                   
CM2 model is based on NLOS (0–4 m) channel measurement.                                                   
CM3 model is based on NLOS (4–10 m) channel measurement.                                                 
CM4 model is generated to fit a 25 ns RMS delay spread to an extreme NLOS multipath channel.
