Measurements and modelisation of shadowing cross-correlations between two base-stations

Abstract

Measurements in macrodiversity situations have been performed. Crosscorrelation of shadowing terms between two basestations and a mobile have been computed. It results that high cross-correlation coefficients may appear in practice. Afterwards, we propose a simple shadowing model, integrating both its autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties. Eventually, this model is used to compute simulations in some typical network cases.
