F11: Mobile Propagation Models and Measurements (2)

Wednesday, August 20  16:00-17:40,  Room #4

Session Chairs: Mathieu Herben, Robert Bultitude

As personal indoor and mobile radio communications (PIMRC) systems evolve, and their users demand better quality of service at higher and higher data rates, it becomes increasingly more important to make efficient use of the radio spectrum. To do this, it is imperative to have accurate radio propagation and radio channel models available for all aspects of a radio link that are pertinent to digital communications. This requires knowledge of transmission loss, delay dispersion and frequency dispersion, and more recently, angular dispersion. In addition, it is important to know how these radio link characteristics vary in space and time for different environments, such as those with significant vegetation. This session aims at presenting the latest results on radio propagation measurements, data analysis and channel modeling to estimate and model the characteristics of various radio links, including but not limited to, those associated with: outdoor (macro, micro, small-cell, and picocell), indoor, outdoor-to-indoor, satellite-to-mobile, and vehicle-to-vehicle radio propagation scenarios in a range of different operating environments.
