It then touches upon mechanisms employed for empirical measurement of these channel effects, as well as techniques commonly used to represent them in a way that is useful for system design (i.e. channel modeling). The features of interference caused by wireless channel are grouped considering the fading characteristics of the medium, such as large-scale and small-scale fading. In order to enable the control of wireless environment, several approaches have been proposed and discussed in the literature. The chapter also focuses on two promising techniques: reconfigurable antenna and reconfigurable intelligent surface. Finally, it explains basic channel emulation techniques which are used to reproduce various propagation effects in the laboratory environment for system testing.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChannel EmulationChannel MeasurementChannel ModelingInter-Symbol InterferenceMultipath PropagationWireless ChannelWireless Channel ControlBook Chapter26732310.1002/9781119764441.ch102-s2.0-85120292427N/A
