Abstract:The knowledge of the mean level of the received signal in a multipath environment and its variations about the mean is fundamental when designing a wireless communications system. In this paper, a comparison between measurements and simulations carried out by the authors is presented in order to show that ray-tracing techniques make it possible to estimate with sufficient accuracy not only the signal mean level but also its variations about the mean. Furthermore, a new method, based on ray-tracing, is proposed… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
