VHF and UHF Signal Characteristics Observed on a Long Knife-Edge Diffraction Path A
JOURNAL OF RESEARCH of the National Bureau of Standards- D. Radio Propagatior. Vol. 65D, No. 5, September- Odober 1961 VHF and UHF Signal Characteristics Observed on a Long Knife-Edge Diffraction Path A. P. Barsis and R. S. Kirby (R eceived April 6, 1961) Contribution from Central Radio Propagation Laboratory, National Bureau of Standards, Boulder, Colo. During 1959 and 1960 long-term transmission loss measurements were performed over a 223 kilom eter path in Eastern Colorado using frequencies of 100 and 751 megacycles per second. This path intersects P ikes P eak which forms a knife-edge type obstacle visible from both terminals. The transmission loss measurements have been analyzed in terms of diurnal a nd seaso nal variations in hourly medians and in instan taneous levels. As expected, results show t hat the long-term fading range is substantially less t han expected for t ropospheric seatter paths of comparable length. T ransmission loss levels were in general agreem ent wi t h predicted k ni fe-edge d iffraction propagation when a ll owance is made for rounding of t he knife edge. A technique for est imatin g long-term fading ra nges is presented a nd t he res ults are in good agreement with observations. Short-term variations in some case resemble t he space-wave fadeo uts commonly observed on within- the-horizon paths, a lthough other phe nomena may contribute to t he fadin g.

Rayleigh Fading Multi-Antenna Channels
EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing 2002:3, 316–329 c 2002 Hindawi Publishing Corporation Rayleigh Fading Multi-Antenna Channels Alex Grant Institute for Telecommunications Research, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes Boulevard, Mawson Lakes, SA 5095, Australia Email: [email protected] Received 29 May 2001 Information theoretic properties of flat fading channels with multiple antennas are investigated. Perfect channel knowledge at the receiver is assumed. Expressions for maximum information rates and outage probabilities are derived. The advantages of transmitter channel knowledge are determined and a critical threshold is found beyond which such channel knowledge gains very little. Asymptotic expressions for the error exponent are found. For the case of transmit diversity closed form expressions for the error exponent and cutoff rate are given. The use of orthogonal modulating signals is shown to be asymptotically optimal in terms of information rate. Keywords and phrases: space-time channels, transmit diversity, information theory, error exponents. 1.

Capacity of Flat and Freq.-Selective Fading Channels Linear Digital Modulation Review
Lecture 8 - EE 359: Wireless Communications - Winter 2020 Capacity of Flat and Freq.-Selective Fading Channels Linear Digital Modulation Review Lecture Outline • Channel Inversion with Fixed Rate Transmission • Comparison of Fading Channel Capacity under Different Schemes • Capacity of Frequency Selective Fading Channels • Review of Linear Digital Modulation • Performance of Linear Modulation in AWGN 1. Channel Inversion with Fixed Rate Transmission • Suboptimal transmission strategy where fading is inverted to maintain constant re- ceived SNR. • Simplifies system design and is used in CDMA systems for power control. • Capacity with channel inversion greatly reduced over that with optimal adaptation (capacity equals zero in Rayleigh fading). • Truncated inversion: performance greatly improved by inverting above a cutoff γ0. 2. Comparison of Fading Channel Capacity under Different Schemes: • Fading generally decreases channel capacity. • Rate/power adaptation have similar capacity as rate adaptation alone. • Rate adaptation alone has same capacity as no adaptation (RX CSI only) but rate adaptation is more practical due to complexity of ML decoding over long blocklengths that experience all fading values. This ML decoding is necesssary to achieve capacity in the RX CSI only case. • Truncated channel inversion is more practical than rate adaptation, with significant capacity gain over full channel inversion, which has zero capacity in Rayleigh fading. 3. Capacity of Frequency Selective Fading Channels • Capacity for time-invariant frequency-selective fading channels is a \water-filling” of power over frequency. • For time-varying ISI channels, capacity is unknown in general. Approximate by di- viding up the bandwidth subbands of width equal to the coherence bandwidth (same premise as multicarrier modulation) with independent fading in each subband. -

2 the Wireless Channel
CHAPTER 2 The wireless channel A good understanding of the wireless channel, its key physical parameters and the modeling issues, lays the foundation for the rest of the book. This is the goal of this chapter. A defining characteristic of the mobile wireless channel is the variations of the channel strength over time and over frequency. The variations can be roughly divided into two types (Figure 2.1): • Large-scale fading, due to path loss of signal as a function of distance and shadowing by large objects such as buildings and hills. This occurs as the mobile moves through a distance of the order of the cell size, and is typically frequency independent. • Small-scale fading, due to the constructive and destructive interference of the multiple signal paths between the transmitter and receiver. This occurs at the spatialscaleoftheorderofthecarrierwavelength,andisfrequencydependent. We will talk about both types of fading in this chapter, but with more emphasis on the latter. Large-scale fading is more relevant to issues such as cell-site planning. Small-scale multipath fading is more relevant to the design of reliable and efficient communication systems – the focus of this book. We start with the physical modeling of the wireless channel in terms of elec- tromagnetic waves. We then derive an input/output linear time-varying model for the channel, and define some important physical parameters. Finally, we introduce a few statistical models of the channel variation over time and over frequency. 2.1 Physical modeling for wireless channels Wireless channels operate through electromagnetic radiation from the trans- mitter to the receiver. -

Distortion Exponent of Parallel Fading Channels
Distortion Exponent of Parallel Fading Channels Deniz Gunduz, Elza Erkip Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY 11201, USA [email protected], [email protected] Abstract— We consider the end-to-end distortion achieved by the fading process. Lack of channel state information at the transmitting a continuous amplitude source over M parallel, transmitter prevents the design of a channel code that achieves independent quasi-static fading channels. We analyze the high the instantaneous channel capacity and requires a code that SNR expected distortion behavior characterized by the distortion exponent. We first give an upper bound for the distortion performs well on the average. We aim to design a joint source- exponent in terms of the bandwidth ratio between the channel channel code that achieves the minimum expected end-to-end and the source assuming the availability of the channel state distortion. Our main focus is the high SNR behavior of this information at the transmitter. Then we propose joint source- expected distortion (ED). This behavior is characterized by the channel coding schemes based on layered source coding and distortion exponent denoted by ¢ and defined as multiple rate channel coding. We show that the upper bound is tight for large and small bandwidth ratios. For the rest, we log ED provide the best known distortion exponents in the literature. ¢ = ¡ lim : (1) SNR!1 log SNR By suitably scaling the bandwidth ratio, our results would also apply to block fading channels. When we consider digital transmission strategies that first compress the source and then transmit over the channel at I. -
On Routing in Random Rayleigh Fading Networks Martin Haenggi, Senior Member, IEEE
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 4, NO. 4, JULY 2005 1553 On Routing in Random Rayleigh Fading Networks Martin Haenggi, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—This paper addresses the routing problem for large loss probabilities increase with the number of hops (unless the wireless networks of randomly distributed nodes with Rayleigh transmit power is adapted). fading channels. First, we establish that the distances between To overcome some of these limitations of the “disk model,” neighboring nodes in a Poisson point process follow a generalized Rayleigh distribution. Based on this result, it is then shown that, we employ a simple Rayleigh fading link model that relates given an end-to-end packet delivery probability (as a quality of transmit power, large-scale path loss, and the success of a service requirement), the energy benefits of routing over many transmission. The end-to-end packet delivery probability over short hops are significantly smaller than for deterministic network a multihop route is the product of the link-level reception models that are based on the geometric disk abstraction. If the probabilities. permissible delay for short-hop routing and long-hop routing is the same, it turns out that routing over fewer but longer hops may While fading has been considered in the context of packet even outperform nearest-neighbor routing, in particular for high networks [16], [17], its impact on the network (and higher) end-to-end delivery probabilities. layers is largely an open problem.
