Urban Microcells¶
Model of an urban street canyon. Refer to the Study on channel model for frequencies from 0.5 to 100 GHz[1] for detailed information.
The following minimal example outlines how to configure the channel model
within the context of a Simulation:
1# Initialize two devices to be linked by a channel
2simulation = Simulation()
3alpha_device = simulation.new_device(
4 carrier_frequency=1e8, pose=Transformation.From_Translation(np.array([0., 0., 2.])))
5beta_device = simulation.new_device(
6 carrier_frequency=1e8, pose=Transformation.From_Translation(np.array([40., 40., 2.])))
7
8# Create a channel between the two devices
9channel = UrbanMicrocells()
10simulation.set_channel(alpha_device, beta_device, channel)
11
12# Configure communication link between the two devices
13link = SimplexLink()
14alpha_device.transmitters.add(link)
15beta_device.receivers.add(link)
16
17# Specify the waveform and postprocessing to be used by the link
18link.waveform = RRCWaveform(
19 symbol_rate=1e8, oversampling_factor=2, num_data_symbols=1000,
20 num_preamble_symbols=10, pilot_rate=10)
21link.waveform.channel_estimation = SCLeastSquaresChannelEstimation()
22link.waveform.channel_equalization = SCZeroForcingChannelEqualization()
23
24# Configure a simulation to evaluate the link's BER and sweep over the receive SNR
25simulation.add_evaluator(BitErrorEvaluator(link, link))
26simulation.new_dimension('noise_level', dB(0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20), beta_device)
27
28# Run simulation and plot resulting SNR curve
29result = simulation.run()
- class UrbanMicrocells(gain=1.0, delay_normalization=DelayNormalization.ZERO, oxygen_absorption=True, expected_state=None, **kwargs)[source]¶
Bases:
ClusterDelayLineBase[UrbanMicrocellsRealization,O2IState],Serializable3GPP cluster delay line preset modeling an urban street canyon.
- Parameters:
gain (float, optional) – Linear gain factor a signal amplitude experiences when being propagated over this realization. \(1.0\) by default.
delay_normalization (DelayNormalization, optional) – The delay normalization routine applied during channel sampling.
oxygen_absorption (bool, optional) – Model oxygen absorption in the channel. Enabled by default.
expected_state (LSST, optional) – Expected large-scale state of the channel. If None, the state is randomly generated during each sample of the channel’s realization.
**kwargs – Additional keyword arguments passed to the base class.
- yaml_tag: Optional[str] = 'UMi'¶
YAML serialization tag.
