Small-scale fading (or simply fading) is used to describe
the rapid fluctuation of the amplitude of a radio signal overa short period of time or travel distance.
Fading is caused by interference between two or moreversions of the transmitted signal which arrive at thereceiver at slightly different times.
These waves, called multipath waves, combine at thereceiver antenna to give a resultant signal which can vary
widely in amplitude and phase, depending on thedistribution of the intensity and relative propagation timeof the waves and the bandwidth of the transmitted signal.

5.1 small-scale multipath propagation
Multipath in the radio channel creates small-scale fadingeffects.
Three most important effects are:
* Rapid changes in signal strength over a small travel distance ortime interval.
* Random frequency modulation due to varying Doppler shifts on
different multipath signals.
* Time dispersion (echoes) caused by multipath propagation
delays.

5.1.1 Factors influencing Small-Scale Fading
Multipath propagation
* Can cause signal smearing due to intersymbol interference.
Speed of the Mobile
* Results in random frequency modulation due to Doppler shifts oneach of the multipath components.
Speed of surrounding objects
* If the surrounding objects move at a greater rate than the mobile,
then this effect dominates the small-scale fading.

Transmission bandwidth of the signal
* The bandwidth of the multipath channel can be quantified by thecoherence bandwidth.
* The coherence bandwidth is a measure of the maximum frequencydifference for which signals are still strongly correlated inamplitude.
* If the transmitted radio signal bandwidth is greater than thebandwidth of the multipath channel, the receive signal will bedistorted, but the signal strength will not fade much over a localarea. (i.e., small-scale fading will not be significant.)
* If the transmitted signal has a narrow bandwidth as compared tothe channel, the amplitude of the signal will change rapidly, but thesignal will be distorted in time.

5.2 Impulse Response Model of a Multipath Channel
Small-scale variations of a mobile radio signal can be directly related
to the impulse response of the mobile radio channel.
The impulse response is a wideband channel characterization and
contains all information necessary to simulate or analyze any type of
radio transmission through the channel.
This stems from the fact that a mobile radio channel may be modeled
as a linear filter with a time varying impulse response, where the time
variation is due to receiver motion in space.
This filtering nature of the channel is caused by the summation ofamplitudes and delays of the multiple arriving waves at any instant of
time.

It is useful to discretize the multuple delay axis of the
impulse response into equal time delay segments called
excess delay bins.
Excess delay, maximum excess delay

5.4 Parameters of Mobile Multipath Channels
Many multipath channel parameters are derived from
the power delay profile, which is found by averaging
instantaneous power delay profile measurements over a
local area in order to determine an average small-scalepower delay profile.

5.4.2 Coherence Bandwidth
* Analog to the delay spread parameters in the time domain,
coherence bandwidth is used to characterize the channel in thefrequency domain.
* The rms delay spread and coherence bandwidth are inversely
proportional to each other.
* coherence bandwidth is a statistical measure of the range of
frequencies over which the channel can be considered flat (I.e., a
channel which passes all spectral components with approximately
equal gain and linear phases.)
* In other words, coherence bandwidth is the range of frequencies
over which two freq components have a strong potential for
amplitude correlation.

Delay spread and coherence bandwidth are parameters
which describe the time dispersive nature of the channel in
a local area. However, they do not offer information about
the time varying nature of the channel by the Dopplereffect.
5.4.3 Doppler Spread and Coherence Time
* are parameters which describe the time varying nature of the
channel in a small-scale region.
* Doppler Spread BD
:
a measure of the spectral broadening caused by the time rate of
change of the mobile radio channel and is defined as the range
of frequencies over which the received Doppler spectrum is
essentially non-zero. (in the range fc-fd to fc+fd)

* If the baseband signal bandwidth is much greater than BD, the
effects of Doppler Spread are negligible.
* Coherence Time Tc: the time domain dual of BD
(5.40a)
where: fm is the maximum Doppler Shift given by
the time duration over which two received signals have a strongpotential for amplitude correlation.
* The definition of coherence time implies that two signals arriving
with a time separation greater than Tc are affected differently by
the channel.

Flat fading
* Most common type of fading described in the literature
* The spectral characteristics of the transmitted signal are preserved
at the receiver
* Typically, the fact fading channels cause deep fades, and may
require 20 or 30 dB more transmitter power to achieve low bit
error rates.

* The most common amplitude distribution is the Rayleigh
distribution.

Frequency selective fading
* Due to time dispersion of the transmitted symbols within thechannel. Thus it could introduce the intersymbol interference (ISI)
* Viewed in the frequency domain, certain frequency components in
the received signal spectrum have greater gains than others.
* To summarized, a signal undergoes frequency selective fading if

Fast fading
* The channel impulse response changes rapidly within the symbolduration. That is,
BsTc
* This causes frequency dispersion (also called time selective fading)
due to Doppler Spreading, which leads to signal distortion.
Slow fading
* The channel impulse response changes at a rate much slower thanthe transmitted baseband signal

5.6 Rayleigh and Ricean Distribution
Rayleigh distribution is commonly used to describe the
statistical time varying nature of the received envelope of a
flat fading signal, or the envelop of an individual multipathcomponent.

The Rayleigh distribution has a pdf given by

where
is the rms value of the received signalis the time-average power of the received signal.

When there is a dominant stationary (non-fading) signal component
present, such as a Line-of-sight propagation path, the small-scale fading
envelope distribution is Ricean.
