800-MHz Attenuation Measured In and Around Suburban Houses

Abstract

The signal levels around and within eight suburban houses were measured at 800 MHz. These measurements are needed in refining the requirements for portable-radio communication systems that can accommodate low-power radiotelephone sets. The measurements were made from an instrumentation van having an erectable 27-foot-high antenna. Large-scale distributions of the small-scale signal medians are approximately log normal. The decrease in median signal level with distance ranges from d-2 for the eight houses. Signal decreases as d-4 .5 for the overall data set. At 1000 feet, regressions to signal levels range from 12.5 to 37.1 dB below free-space propagation levels for locations outside and locations inside on first and second floors. In basements, regression levels at 1000 feet range from 29 to 48.2 dB below free space. For the overall data set, regression signal levels at 1000 feet are 27.7 dB below free space. For all the basements, this value is 39.6 dB. Other signal statistics are given in this paper.

On the study of wireless signal noise for designing network infrastructure of knowledge management systems

“…In the literature (e.g. [6], [14]), X σ (t) is modelled as a zero-mean Gaussian distributed random variable (in dB) with standard deviation σ and its power spectral density is given by…”

“…Specifically, for the model in (6), and considering the bounds for α, the timedomain measure can be expressed as:…”

“…under ideal conditions of free space [5], however, the practical propagation environment where wireless signals are generated and propagated is usually far from ideal. In [6], the authors modelled RSS as the combined effect of three major factors: antenna gain, transmitting power and free space path loss, with an additional loss factor to capture randomness. This random factor was modelled to follow a white Gaussian process with zero mean: the additional white noise in Friis equation [7], [8].…”

Clutter Height Variation Effects on Frequency Dependen Path Loss Models at UHF Bands in Build-Up Areas

“…The presence of irregular terrain, on a radio signal path, degrades the quality of radio signal and this increases the signal path losses (Cox et al, 1994). Signal path losses can be simulated, through empirical p models, which are mathematical expressions, employed in the characterization of radio wave propagation and terrain features (Bernhardt, 1995).…”

“…Um modelo comumente adotado para descrever essas discrepâncias é o modelo lognormal para o sombreamento. De acordo com este modelo, a perda de percurso em uma localidade particular, P L(d), é uma variável aleatória cuja função densidade de probabilidade (fdp) segue uma distribuição log-normal (gaussiana se P L(d) for dada em dB) com média dada por (2-2) [37,38]…”
