Abstract
The wireless channel environment governs the performance of wireless communication systems, since the environment is unpredictable and dynamic. This will make the analysis of the wireless communication system difficult. To that end we classify the wireless channel model as illustrated in Fig. 2.1. The channel is one of the essential elements of the transmission chain. Generally, it acts as a disruptive factor that can alter the issued signal. This chapter will focus on wireless channel classification then, the channel will be introduced in information theory.
