RT Conference Proceedings T1 Understanding the impact of line-of-sight in the ergodic spectral efficiency of cellular networks A1 García-Corrales, Celia A1 Martín-Vega, Francisco-Javier A1 López-Martínez, Francisco Javier A1 Cañete-Corripio, Francisco Javier A1 París-Ángel, José Francisco K1 Sistemas de comunicación inalámbricos AB In this paper we investigate the impact of lineof-sight (LoS) condition in the ergodic spectral efficiency of cellular networks. To achieve this goal, we have considered the kappa-mu shadowed model, which is a general model that provides an excellent fit to a wide set of propagation conditions. To overcome the mathematical complexity of the analysis, we have split the analysis between large and small-scale effects. Building on the proposed framework, we study a number of scenarios that range from heavily-fluctuating LoS to deterministic-LoS. Finally, we shed light on the interplay between fading severity and spectral efficiency by means of the amount of fading.
