Path-Based Spatial Channel Modeling


sc-Path-Based-Spatial-Channel-Modeling

The Spatial Channel Model (SCM) was designed for evaluating multiple-antenna systems and algorithms. The model was developed within a combined 3GPP/3GPP2 ad hoc group to address the need for a precise channel model able to facilitate fair comparisons of various MIMO proposals. The model uses a system-level approach to simulate performance across the range of conditions expected in a cellular system. This ensures that multiple-antenna algorithms are not only optimized for a few test conditions, but across the system as a whole.
