* '''Multi-path fading''' A phenomenon from the domain of wireless networks. A signal emitted by a source node follows different paths on its way to the reciever node. In particular, the reciever node not only recieves the signal following the "`line of sight"' path, but also copies of this signal with a slight offset in time. Those copies followed a longer path and probably got reflected several times before reaching their destination. Because of these reflections the copies tend to be increasingly attenuated as time progresses. |

- Multi-path fading A phenomenon from the domain of wireless networks. A signal emitted by a source node follows different paths on its way to the reciever node. In particular, the reciever node not only recieves the signal following the "`line of sight"' path, but also copies of this signal with a slight offset in time. Those copies followed a longer path and probably got reflected several times before reaching their destination. Because of these reflections the copies tend to be increasingly attenuated as time progresses.
