 Definitions of Fading Statistics
 Level Crossing Rate (LCR)
 The average number of times the signal crosses a given
threshold, R, within a given observation time, with either a
positive or negative slope.

 Average Fade Duration (AFD)

 The ratio between the total time the received signal is below a
reference level, R, and the total number of fades.

 Spatial Auto-covariance (SAC)

 SAC represents the correlation of the received signals at
different spatial positions along the mobility route of
R
communicating nodes.

 Coherence Distance (CD)

 CD is the minimum distance between communicating nodes
in space for which the received signals are mostly
uncorrelated
