Stochastic Modeling of Narrowband Fading Channels with Three Dimensional Diffuse Scattering (2009)
Book Chapter
Karadimas, P. (2009). Stochastic Modeling of Narrowband Fading Channels with Three Dimensional Diffuse Scattering. In S. Kotsopoulos, & K. Ioannou (Eds.), Handbook of Research on Heterogeneous Next Generation Networking: Innovations and Platforms (361-381). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-60566-108-7.ch016
