Figure 209 presents how to set-up the pathloss correlation in SEAMCAT (only available for OFDMA). The panel is similar for the OFDMA DL and UL.

Thus, the correlation coefficient of the shadow fading from one UE to two different BSs, i.e., the i-th and j-th BS, is
...
In most LTE studies, is assumed [10]. For cellular systems with three-sector antennas, the shadowing correlation between sites (equivalent to BS in Omni antenna system) is of 0.5 and correlation between sectors of the same site is consequently of 1.
