Performance Prediction of Packet Mobile Communication through Wireless Multipath Fading Channel Modeling

摘要

This paper presents a software simulator applicable to multipath fading channels in urban environments of mobile communication networks. The simulator is constructed by a two-state Markov model and several statistical models for simulating the characterizations of different environments. A core idea of the simulator is to construct a Rice distribution-based multipath fading module produced by a modified Gans Doppler power spectrum,and in combination with a Markov model to predict the time-dependent characteristics of packet in different radio circumstances. It can simply predict the packet performance of the future channel and evaluate the relations between the radio channel and the modulation schemes,error control protocols and channel coding. Simulation results demonstrate that it is a reliable and efficient method.
