Abstract: This paper addresses the statistical modelling of MIMO-LMS fading channels. In the absence of accurate experimental results, a statistical model for the characterization of MIMO-LMS channels is proposed based on consolidation of available experimental results for SISO-LMS, SIMO-LMS and MISO-LMS as well as on their extrapolation to the MIMO-LMS and satellite diversity cases of interest.
