Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for modeling a channel impulse response of a radio channel. The model emulates an actual radio channel and is formed of non-diffuse as well as diffuse components. The model is used, for example, to test mobile stations for their compliance with E-911 phase II mandates.

Apparatus for facilitating emulation of a radio channel formed between a sending station and a receiving station, the receiving station positioned at a selected reception location, said apparatus comprising:
- a channel impulse response estimator adapted to receive communication indicia associated with the radio channel, said channel impulse response estimator for forming an estimate of a channel impulse response of the radio channel, the channel impulse response estimate formed of a combination of at least a first non-diffuse component and at least a first diffuse component.
A method for facilitating emulation of a radio channel formed between a sending station and receiving station positioned at a selected reception location, said method comprising the operations of:
- forming an estimate of a channel impulse response of the radio channel responsive to communication indicia associated with the radio channel, the estimate of the channel impulse response formed of a combination of at least a first non-diffuse component and at least a first diffuse component;
- and
- using the estimate to emulate the radio channel.
