C.3 Propagation models

3GPP45.005GSM/EDGE Radio transmission and receptionTS

In this clause the propagation models that are mentioned in the main body of 3GPP TS 45.005 are defined. As a general principle those models are referred to as NAMEx, where NAME is the name of the particular model, which is defined thereunder, and x is the vehicle speed (in km/h) which impacts on the definition of fd (see clause C.2) and hence on the doppler spectra.

Those models are usually defined by 12 tap settings; however, according to the simulators available it may not be possible to simulate the complete model. Therefore a reduced configuration of 6 taps is also defined in those cases. This reduced configuration may be used in particular for the multipath simulation on an interfering signal. Whenever possible the full configuration should be used. For each model two equivalent alternative tap settings, indicated respectively by (1) and (2) in the appropriate columns, are given.
