Channel Measurements and Characterizations for Automobile Factory Environments

摘要

There is tremendous hype around the Internet of Things, and particularly in the industrial realm (the industrial Internet of Things, IIoT), where many expect to find the biggest opportunity in the near term. The IIoT is also an important application in the fifth generation of wireless communications. In this paper, the channel propagations are investigated based on the realistic measurement data in an automobile factory. The path loss model is extracted using Least Square (LS) method, and the K factor is also parameterized. Meanwhile, the time delay (root mean squared delay) and the amount of multipath component (MPC)s are investigated and compared with typical propagation results. These results are beneficial and informative when designing wireless networks for IIoT.
