Radio communications often take place in confined environments like city areas. The propagation channel presents shadowing and multipath phenomena due to interactions between radio wave and environment. In this work, a general hybrid channel model concept is proposed to associate the advantages of existing deterministic and statistical models. One of the model applications is introduced using a geosynchronous satellite as transmitter and a land mobile as receiver.
