Parameters

(R): Run-time adjustable

Num Sinusoids (SoS model)
The number of sinusoids to use in simulating the channel; 8 is a good value
Normalized Max Doppler (fD*Ts) (R)
Normalized maximum Doppler frequency, fD * Ts
LOS Model
Include Line-of-Site path? selects between Rayleigh (NLOS) and Rician (LOS) models
Rician factor (K) (R)
Rician factor (ratio of the specular power to the scattered power)
Seed
