"Undefined function 'times' for input arguments of type 'channel.rician'" error on MATLAB, how to fix it?

1 vue (au cours des 30 derniers jours)
When i run the following code, i have an error, what is the problem? Here is the code:
clear all; close all; clc;
% basic inputs =============================
fc=2e9; % Hz Carrier frequency
F=16; % sampling rate: fraction of wave length
V=10; % m/s MS1 speed
NFFT=128; % Number of points in FFT
Nsamples=100; % Number of samples
% geometry inputs ===========================
dBS=1000; % distance of BS to origin
alpha = 180; % degree. Angle of BS-MS with MS route
% inidirect gemeotric parameters ================
BSx=dBS*cosd(alpha); % loc of BS x-coord
BSy=dBS*sind(alpha); % loc of BS y-coord
% indirect parameters ===========================
c=3e8;
lambdac=c/fc; % m wavelength
Dx=lambdac/F; % m sampling spacing
ts=Dx/V; % s time sampling interval
fs=1/ts; % Hz sampling frequency
kc=2*pi/lambdac; % propagation constant
timeaxis=ts.*[0:Nsamples]; % s elapsed time axis
disaxis=Dx.*[0:Nsamples]; % n traveled distance axis
MSx=V.*timeaxis; % MS route sampling points
% radio path length==============================
distBSMS=sqrt((BSx-MSx).^2+(BSy).^2);
% complex envelope: amplitude and phase ===============
rx=1*exp(-1j*kc.*distBSMS)-exp(-1j*2*pi/(c./5e9).*distBSMS);
c1 = ricianchan;
r=c1.*rx;
% complex envelope spectrum ======================
spectrumr=fftshift((abs(fft(r,NFFT))).^2);
freqaxis=[0:NFFT-1]*fs/NFFT-fs/2;
% Plots =====================================
figure,plot(timeaxis,abs(r))
xlabel('Time (s)') ;
And this is the error:
Undefined function 'times' for input arguments of type 'channel.rician'

You cannot multiply a channel model by a value. You can use the channel model to generate samples and multiply the samples.

what do you mean by generating samples? can you give me an example please?

Sorry, I mistook it for being one of the random noise channels.
You have to use the ricianchan object to filter samples; you can then multiply the filtered samples.
Depending on your purpose in doing the multiplication, you might consider instead changing the AvgPathGaindB property of the channel.

You don't want to multiply the channel with the signal. Instead, you want to filter the signal with the channel, like the following:
r = filter(c1,rx)
