Name	Type	Description
StochasticChannelModel	simple module	The full PHY link model: everything between a transmitted air frame and the decision on whether it was received. The channel impairments are modeled statistically -- drawn from the distributions of a 3GPP propagation study, rather than computed from the geometry of an actual environment -- which is what sets this model apart from IdealChannelModel, where there are no impairments at all, only a configured packet error rate.

//
// The full PHY link model: everything between a transmitted air frame and the
// decision on whether it was received. The channel impairments are modeled
// statistically -- drawn from the distributions of a 3GPP propagation study,
// rather than computed from the geometry of an actual environment -- which is
// what sets this model apart from ~IdealChannelModel, where there are no
// impairments at all, only a configured packet error rate.
//
// It covers:
// - path loss per deployment scenario, LOS/NLOS state and log-normal shadowing,
//   with the formulas of the 3GPP propagation study selected by pathLossType
//   (TR 36.814, TR 36.873 or TR 38.901);
// - multipath fading, Jakes or Rayleigh;
// - the antenna pattern attenuation and the link budget (antenna gains, cable
//   loss, noise figures, thermal noise);
// - interference from other cells: downlink, uplink, external cells and
//   background cells;
// - the assembly of all of the above into a per-band SINR, and the mapping of
//   that SINR onto a block error probability that decides reception.
//
// Only the path loss, LOS probability, shadowing and angular attenuation come
// from the selected propagation study; everything else is the same whichever
// study is selected. The ~Tr36873ChannelModel and ~Tr38901ChannelModel presets
// differ from this type only in their pathLossType default.
