Because as mentioned earlier it is difficult to estimate the time-dependent parameters of \(h_l(m)\) in many cases it is easier to model the components of the CIR as stochastic processes, thus greatly reducing the number of parameters \cite{Messier,Mathis}. This is especially effective for channels that are constantly changing, because by the central limit theorem the cumulative effect of many small changes tends to a normal distribution.

\paragraph{LOS case}
-In the case of the Ricean distribution model the line of side exist, which means that one of the paths have a straight communication line from the transmitter to the reviser. So there are in addition to the Rayleight model direct components, whish are also gaussian distributed.
-
-\begin{equation} \label{eqn:rician fading}
- f(t) = \sqrt{\frac{K}{K+1}}+\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{K+1}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}\sum_{n=1}^{N} e^{j \vartheta_k }.
-\end{equation}
-
-The factor \(K\) named Ricean factor it is the ratio of the line of side power to the average power of the distributed components.
-The Phase for the strait line component has no influences for the Random process therefore there set to zero. In the case when \(K = 0 \)
-the Rician distribution becomes a Rayleight distribution on the other hand when \(K\rightarrow \infty \) the distribution becomes an AWGN-channel model (additive white Gaussian noise). When \(K > 0 \) is the phase not equally distributed.
-
-For this distribution model the expectation value for the real part is \(\E{\Re{f(t)}}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{K+1}} \) and for the imaginary part \(\E{\Im{f(t)}}=0\)
-
-So the probability function of the amplitude in this case is:
-\begin{equation} \label{eqn:rician_fading_probabilety_dencety}
- p(a)= 2a(1+K)e^{(-K-{a}^2(K+1))}\cdot I_0(2a\sqrt{K(1+K)})
+Extending the previous NLOS case, if there is a line of sight (LOS) path (red signal in \figref{fig:ring-of-scattering-objects}), the statistical model has to be extended by defining the so called Rice factor \(K\). This \(K\) factor is the ratio between the power from the LOS path and the average power of the NLOS paths (often also referred to as distributed components). Hence, by taking \(K\) into account \eqref{eqn:mult-fading-nlos} becomes
+\begin{equation} \label{eqn:mult-fading-los}
+ f = \sqrt{\frac{K}{K+1}} +
+ \frac{1}{\sqrt{K+1}} \left(
+ \lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}
+ \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}\sum_{n=1}^{N} e^{j \vartheta_k}
+ \right).
+\end{equation}
+Notice that by letting \(K = 0\), that is no power in the LOS path, \eqref{eqn:mult-fading-los} becomes \eqref{eqn:mult-fading-nlos} or Rayleigh distributed (as expected). Conversely when \(K \to \infty\), i.e. no power in the NLOS paths, then \(f \to 1\) and so the fading disappears. The new amplitude density in this case is:
+\begin{equation}
+ p(a)= 2a(1+K) \exp{\left(-K -a^2 (K+1) \right)} I_0 \left(2a\sqrt{K(1+K)} \right),
\end{equation}
