scattering Scattering is a term used in physics to describe a wide range of physical processes where moving particles or radiation of some form, such as light or sound, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by localized non-uniformities (including ...

" refers to the delay τ due to scatterers. Modelling of mobile channels as WSSUS (wide sense stationary uncorrelated scattering) has become popular among specialists. The model was introduced by Phillip A. Bello in 1963.Matthias Pätzold, ''Mobile Radio Channels'', ch. 7, John Wiley & Sons, 2011 . A commonly used description of time variant channel applies the set of Bello functions and the theory of stochastic processes.
