Advanced Line-of-Sight (LOS) model for communicating devices in modern indoor environment. [PDF]
The provision of Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) service in an indoor environment is a crucial task and the decay in signal strength issues arises especially in indoor environments. The Line-of-Sight (LOS) is a path for signal propagation that commonly impedes innumerable indoor objects damage signals and also causes signal fading.

A new approach to diffraction modelling for line-of-sight (LOS) paths [PDF]
In this paper, we present a new knife-edge diffraction method based on Bullington method for the terrestrial line-of-sight (LOS) paths. The diffraction loss of our new knife-edge diffraction method is compared with the results obtained from the Delta-Bullington method and the measurement data existing in the literature for sample fixed terrestrial ...

Closed Form Approximations for UAV Line-of-Sight Probability in Urban Environments
This paper presents a new approach to estimate the probability of line-of-sight (LoS) for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications. We provide lower and upper bounds on the probability of LoS in terms of what we call the first-building-LoS ...

Achievable directive antenna gain measurements and modeling for 60 GHz indoor links [PDF]
Highly directive antennas may be a key component in millimeter wave links to offset their inherently high path losses. In cluttered scenarios such as Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) indoor settings, antenna gain is degraded by the interaction of the channel ...

The Folded Normal Distribution: A New Model for the Small-Scale Fading in Line-of-Sight (LOS) Condition [PDF]
[EN] In this paper, a novel form of the folded normal (FN) distribution has been proposed to model the small-scale fading in wireless communications. From a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) measurement campaign conducted in a lab environment with the line-of-sight (LOS) conditions at both the 60 and the 94 GHz bands, the authors obtain the ...

Troposcatter can be used as a communication medium for beyond-Line-of-Sight (b-LoS) links. However, available troposcatter channel models do not provide comprehensive channel modeling especially at high frequencies. Therefore, the main motivation of this study is to develop a ray-based MIMO troposcatter channel model to analyze transmission-loss ...

Channel Characteristics of Dynamic Off-Body Communications at 60 GHz Under Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-LOS Conditions [PDF]
This letter investigates the first-order characteristics of dynamic off-body communications channels at 60 GHz. In particular, we have studied signal propagation from a chest-worn millimeter-wave transmitter as an adult male walked toward and then away from a hypothetical base station.

Non-Line-of-Sight Identification Based on Unsupervised Machine Learning in Ultra Wideband Systems
Identification of line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation conditions is very useful in ultra wideband localization systems. In the identification, supervised machine learning is often used, but it requires exorbitant efforts to ...
