However, there are just few analytical papers that give recommendations for the signal samples postprocessing (in post-Rayleigh channels only), which should enable us to estimate these local mean values accurately. In this paper, the most general recommendations for the signal spatial averaging in post- and pre-Rayleigh channels are derived, assuming Nakagami-m distribution of multipath. Obtained results are consistent with generally known Lee's recommendation [1] for signal averaging in outdoor cells. Additionally, the proposed methodology and derived equations provide analytical confirmation of empirical results obtained experimentally in indoor [2] and enable us to derive recommendations for spatial signal averaging in channels with a large amount of multipath.","PeriodicalId":138602,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Communications, Control and Signal Processing","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124481627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
