Statistical Modeling of Indirect Paths for UWB Sensors in an Indoor Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a statistical model of an indirect path generated in an ultra-wideband (UWB) human tracking scenario. When performing moving target detection, an indirect path signal can generate ghost targets that may cause a false alarm. For this purpose, we performed radar measurements in an indoor environment and established a statistical model of an indirect path based on the measurement data. The proposed model takes the form of a modified Saleh-Valenzuela model, which is used in a UWB channel model. An application example of the proposed model for mitigating false alarms is also presented.

Using UWB Measurements for Statistical Analysis of the Ranging Error in Indoor Multipath Environment
In this paper we use UWB measurements for bandwidths up to 3GHz to present a framework for statistical modeling of the indoor radio channel propagation characteristics that are pertinent to precise indoor geolocation using time-of-arrival (TOA) estimations. Accuracy of indoor geolocation systems relies on the strength and TOA of the direct path (DP) in the channel profile. Based on UWB measurem...

Recently, indoor geolocation technologies has been attracting tremendous attention. For indoor environments, the fine time resolution of ultra-wideband (UWB) signals enables the potential of accurate distance measurement of the direct path (DP) between a number of reference sources and the people or assets of interest. However, Once the DP is not available or is shadowed, substantial errors wil...
متن کاملUltra-Wideband Channel Modeling for Intravehicle Environment
With its fine immunity to multipath fading, ultra-wideband (UWB) is considered to be a potential technique in constructing intravehicle wireless sensor networks. In the UWB literature, extensive measuring and modeling work have been done for indoor or outdoor propagation, but very few measurements were performed in intravehicle environments. This paper reports our effort in measuring and modeli...
متن کاملAn Advanced Uwb Channel Model for Body- Centric Wireless Networks
This paper presents a novel ultra wideband (UWB) channel model in the 3–10GHz range for body-centric wireless communications. The tests are performed in both indoor anechoic chamber environments, addressing on-body and off-body propagation scenarios. The body channel model is extracted by using a single spatial grid over all the body, and by distinguishing between LOS and NLOS condition. The la...
