When does a mobile channel follow Rician rather than Rayleigh statistics?

  • A.When two base stations are received at equal strength
  • B.When a strong direct component is present alongside the scatter
  • C.When the mobile is stationary rather than moving
  • D.When the frequency is above one gigahertz in an urban area

Answer: B

A dominant line of sight path adds a constant vector to the random scatter, so deep fades become much rarer and the statistics move from Rayleigh towards Gaussian as that component strengthens. The ratio of dominant to scattered power is the Rician k factor. Motion affects the rate of fading rather than its distribution, frequency and environment influence but do not define it, and two base stations are a separate situation. The presence or absence of a dominant path is what selects the distribution.
