Abstract

        This paper presents a novel approach for estimating the distribution of the incoming waves at the mobile unit antenna, i.e. the scattering distribution, in a typical micro cellular system. This estimate is vital in determining many system parameters of interest as well as designing unbiased estimators for the velocity of mobile units in micro-cellular systems. The proposed approach deploys the zero-crossing rates of the quadrature components and the instantaneous frequency of the received signal at the mobile unit to estimate the scattering distribution. We also propose a new model for simulating multipath fading channels with non-isotropic scattering. We use the channel simulator to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimator for the scattering distribution. Simulation results show that proposed estimator exhibits small bias and root mean square error.
