Summary:
This work is first in the "geometric modeling" literature to derive a closedform explicit formula for the time-of-arrival (TOA) distribution of the uplink/downlink multipaths between an omni-directional transceiver and a (possibly mis-aligned) directional transceiver that points directional beam towards an arbitrary direction. This propagation-model idealizes the scatterers as uniformly distributed spatially over a circular disc, which encloses the omnidirectional transceiver and is centered at the directional transceiver. However, the directional beam-width reduces the effective scattering spatial region from a circular disc to a "pie-cut" shape. This proposed model allows the omnidirectional transceiver to lie anywhere inside this pie-cut region, depending on the directional beam mis-alignment.
