conclusions Slide 1 neglecting the curvature will cause insufficient estimation result in indoor environments based on this estimation results the evaluation of application specific antenna configuration is limited it may explain the high number of spurious paths in LOS cases the proposed antenna model may improve the estimation results in future implementation of the ML estimator RIMAX Sapporo Japan, September 5 IEICE 5
