Why there is a parameter "HasLOSCluster" in nrCDLChannel of the 5G toolbox?

The CDL model has defined A/B/C for NLOS and D/E for LOS. Why there is a parameter "HasLOSCluster" in nrCDLChannel of the 5G toolbox?

Hi Duixie,

In MATLAB, the "nrCDLChannel" system object is used to simulate a Clustered Delay Line (CDL) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channel. This object includes a parameter called "HasLOSCluster" which allows the user to specify the presence of a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) cluster in the channel model.

When the "HasLOSCluster" parameter is set to true, it indicates that the channel model should incorporate a LOS cluster, representing a direct path between the transmitter and receiver without any obstructions.

Please refer to the below documentation for more information about the usage of “nrCDLChannel”:

Hope this information is helpful!
