Efficient Indoor and Outdoor EM Wave Propagation in a Compact Terrain Database (CTDB) Representation of the Urban Canyon Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an efficient urban outdoor and indoor wave propagation model that supports receiver performance and coverage analyses as well as system effectiveness analyses within urban canyon environments described in the Compact Terrain Database (CTDB) format. The model has been used to support Joint MEASURE based analyses of GPS III performance/coverage within a typical urban environment (Philadelphia) as well as effectiveness analysis of GPS augmented intersection collision warning systems and search and rescue support systems. The model uses a hybrid ray tracing and Finite Volume Time Domain/Finite Difference Time Domain (FVTD/FDTD) method to simulate outdoor and indoor wave propagation. This model provides reliable indoor and outdoor site-specific coverage and delay spread information on a compact terrain database urban

With the rapid growth of indoor wireless communication systems, the need to accurately model radio wave propagation inside the building environments has increased. Many site-specific methods have been proposed for modeling indoor radio channels. Among these methods, the ray tracing algorithm and the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method are the most popular ones. The ray tracing approach ...

The increase in mobile communications traffic has led to heightened interest in the use of deterministic propagation methods together with digital building and terrain databases for propagation prediction in urban areas. Ray methods have been particularly popular, and there are many papers in the literature describing the performance of various approaches to ray tracing. This paper will describ...
متن کاملPrediction of outdoor and outdoor-to-indoor coverage in urban areas at 1.8 GHz
A run-time efficient three-dimensional radio propagation prediction model is presented in this paper. The model allows mobile network operators to predict the outdoor and the outdoor-to-indoor coverage in dense urban areas using one general prediction model. It integrates almost all relevant propagation phenomena in dense urban areas with an accuracy comparable to the results of dedicated predi...

Compact terrain database (CTDB) is a complex terrain database format widely used by the military in training simulations. Currently, many CTDB viewers are made specifically to render the terrain and object models 3 dimensionally in high resolution. These programs focus on editing capabilities that either change the way the terrain is presented in 3D or convert the loaded database to a different...
متن کاملUrban Canyon Microclimate and Spatial Behavior in Extreme Climate Situations (Case Study: Downtown Pedestrian Street in Northern China)
Microclimate in open space affected by the urban layout and spatial forms plays an important role in the outdoor comfort, thus the outdoor activities based on the comfort sensation will directly affected by the spatial forms. An outstanding open space should satisfy different requirements of outdoor activities and create relatively comfortable place.Most studies have been conducted on the...
