NTNChannelSimulator
Radio channel simulator for non terrestrial networks (Satellite / UAV) in urban environments
This code simulate non-terrestrial excess path loss for difference urban environments Non-terrestrial includes UAV, HAP, LAP, Satellites (LEO and GEO)
The code is based on the measurements and results for the following papers:
