UwbIrStochasticPathLoss¶

//
// This is a statistical path-loss model for UWB propagation in residential
// environments, for both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-ofsight (NLOS) cases.
// It implements the Ghassmezadeh stochastic UWB channel path loss model.
//
// Path loss in dB at a distance d is modeled as
// follows:
//
// PL(d) = [PL0 + 10 * sigma *log10(d/d0)] + S(d), where d >= 0
//
// where the reference distance d0 is equal to 1 m, PL0 is the path loss at the
// reference distance, sigma is the path-loss exponent and S is the shadow fading.
// The path-loss exponent follows a normal distribution N[muSigma, sigmaSigma] and
// the shadow fading is shown to be log-normal (with a standard deviation).
//
// The parameter values of the Ghassemzadeh channel model for LOS and NLOS
// environments are the following:
//
// LOS:
//
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.PL0 = 47dB
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.muGamma = 1.7
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.muSigma = 1.6
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.sigmaGamma = 0.3
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.sigmaSigma = 0.5
//
// NLOS:
//
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.PL0 = 51dB
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.muGamma = 3.5
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.muSigma = 2.7
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.sigmaGamma = 0.97
// *.radioMedium.pathLoss.sigmaSigma = 0.98
//
// These configuration values are based on Table 1. of [1].
