Description
Summary:<p/> <p>The inter- and intrasite correlation properties of shadow fading and power-weighted angle spread at both the mobile station and the base station are studied utilizing narrowband multisite MIMO measurements in the 1800&#8201;MHz band. The influence of the distance between two base stations on the correlation is studied in an urban environment. Measurements have been conducted for two different situations: widely separated as well as closely located base stations. Novel results regarding the correlation of the power-weighted angle spread between base station sites with different separations are presented. Furthermore, the measurements and analysis presented herein confirm the autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties of the shadow fading and the angle spread that have been observed in previous studies.</p>
