Quantization-based complexity reduction for range-dependent modified Gilbert model

Abstract

In this contribution we propose an algorithm for dimension reduction of the previously introduced range-dependent modified Gilbert model. For reduction of the model dimension we suggest to jointly quantize model parameters estimated based on very narrow measurement intervals. We analyze the influence of the number of quantization levels on the model performance and based on this analysis find the optimal model dimension. Furthermore, we show that selected environmental and propagation effects, influencing the error pattern, can be identified by means of quantizing model parameters. Finally we demonstrate that these effects can be accurately reproduced by our model.

A Low-Cost Real-World Planning Strategy for Deploying a Dedicated Short-Range Communications Roadside Unit on a Highway Off-Ramp

“…Recently, the empirical-based strategy was detailed in six notable papers by Shivaldova (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11).

“…The simulation-based strategies fall into three areas of scholarly research: (a) analyzing connectivity, (b) optimizing RSU deployments, and (c) load balancing RSUs. Recently, the empirical-based strategies were detailed in a series of field experiments that leveraged existing ITS infrastructure and analyzed constraints on DSRC transmission relative to distance ( 6 – 11 ).…”
