Evaluating New Concepts in Wireless Communications: From Theory to Practice

摘要

The design and evaluation of advanced approaches in wireless communications nowadays require a wide span of methods and tools. Additionally, an incremental procedure with flexible degrees of freedom regarding realistic features in terms of the propagation channel, system design, and planned deployment is often necessary. A comprehensive methodology to allow for physical (PHY) and higher layer research from theory to a final proof-of-concept is discussed in this paper. Required state-of-theart evaluation concepts are characterized and compared. Using the example of a pioneering wireless research concept based on lossy forwarding and joint decoding, the introduced methodology is exemplified with a real case study and backed with various results.
