Wall obstruction is the main factor leading to the non-line of sight (NLoS) error of indoor localization based on received signal strength indicator (RSSI). Modeling and correcting the path loss of the signals through the wall will improve the accuracy of RSSI localization. Based on electromagnetic wave propagation theory, the reflection and transmission process of wireless signals propagation through the wall is analyzed. The path loss of signals through wall is deduced based on power loss and RSSI definition, and the theoretical model of path loss of signals through wall is proposed. In view of electromagnetic characteristic parameters of the theoretical model usually cannot be accurately obtained, the statistical model of NLoS error caused by the signals through the wall is presented based on the log-distance path loss model to solve the parameters. Combining the statistical model and theoretical model, a hybrid model of path loss of signals through wall is proposed. Based on the empirical values of electromagnetic characteristic parameters of the concrete wall, the effect of each electromagnetic characteristic parameters on path loss is analyzed, and the theoretical model of regional path loss of signals through the wall is established. The statistical model and hybrid model of regional path loss of signals through wall are established by RSSI observation experiments, respectively. The hybrid model can solve the problem of path loss when the material of wall is unknown. The results show that the hybrid model can better express the actual trend of the regional path loss and maintain the pass loss continuity of adjacent areas. The validity of the hybrid model is verified by inverse computation of the RSSI of the extended region, and the calculated RSSI is basically consistent with the measured RSSI. The hybrid model can be used to forecast regional path loss of signals through the wall.

For the SI engines, at only full load, the pumping loss has a negligible effect, while at part load conditions, the pumping loss increases. To avoid the pumping loss, the spark-ignited engines are designed to inject gasoline directly into the combustion chamber. In the spark-ignited direct-injection engines, ignition probability is important for successful combustion and the flame propagation characteristics are also different from that of pre-mixed combustion. In this paper, a visualization experiment system is designed to study the ignition probability and combustion flame characteristics of spark-ignited direct-injection CNG fuel. The visualization system is composed of a combustion chamber, fuel supply system, air supply system, electronic control system and data acquisition system. It is found that ambient pressure, ambient temperature and ambient air flow velocity are important parameters which affect the ignition probability of CNG-air mixture and flame propagation characteristics and the injected CNG fuel can be ignited directly by a spark-plug under proper ambient conditions. For all cases of successful ignition, the flame propagation images were digitally recorded with an intensified CCD camera and the flame propagation characteristics were analyzed.

Recently, in wireless video sensor networks(WVSN), various schemes for efficient video data transmission have been studied. In this paper, a layer based cooperative relaying(LCR) algorithm is proposed for minimizing scalable video transmission distortion from packet loss in WVSN. The proposed LCR algorithm consists of two modules. In the first step, a parameter based error propagation metric is proposed to predict the effect of each scalable layer on video quality degradation at low complexity. In the second step, a layer-based cooperative relay algorithm is proposed to minimize distortion due to packet loss using the proposed error propagation metric and channel information of the video sensor node and relay node. In the experiment, the proposed algorithm showed that the improvement of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in various channel environments, compared to the previous algorithm(Energy based Cooperative Relaying, ECR) without considering the metric of error propagation.The proposed LCR algorithm minimizes video quality degradation from packet loss using both the channel information of relaying node and the amount of layer based error propagation in scalable video.

To overcome considerable path loss in millimeter-wave propagation, high-gain directional beamforming is considered to be a key enabling technology for outdoor 5G mobile networks. Associated with beamforming, this paper investigates propagation power loss characteristics in two aspects. The first is beamwidth effects. Owing to the multipath receiving nature of mobile environments, it is expected that a narrower beamwidth antenna will capture fewer multipath signals, while increasing directivity gain. If we normalize the directivity gain, this narrow-beamwidth reception incurs an additional power loss compared to omnidirectional-antenna power reception. With measurement data collected in an urban area at 28 GHz and 38 GHz, we illustrate the amount of these additional propagation losses as a function of the half-power beamwidth. Secondly, we investigate power losses due to steering beam misalignment, as well as the measurement data. The results show that a small angle misalignment can cause a large power loss. Considering that most standard documents provide omnidirectional antenna path loss characteristics, these results are expected to contribute to mmWave mobile system designs.

Wireless communication is a telecommunication technology, which enables wireless transmission between the portable devices to provide wireless access in all types of environments. In this research, the measurements and various empirical models are analysed and compared in order to find out a suitable propagation model to provide guidelines for cell planning of wireless communication systems. The measured data was taken in urban region with low vegetation and some trees at 900 MHz frequency band. Path loss models are useful planning tools, which permit the designers of cellular communication to obtain optimal levels for the base station deployment and meeting the expected service level requirements. Outcomes show that these empirical models tend to overestimate the propagation loss. As one of the key outputs, it was observed that the calculations of Weissberger model fit with the measured data in urban environment.

다중-광선 모델을 이용하여 경사면을 갖는 반-협곡 구조에서 전파 전송 손실을 해석하고 경사면의 각도에 따라 나타나는 다중-광선 전파 모델을 공식화 하였다. 경사면의 기울어진 각도에 의해 결정되는 송수신 전파의 경사면 반사경로인 제3경로와 제4경로에 대한 차단 각도를 송수신 단말의 높이와 위치를 가지고 계산하였다. 경사면 환경에서 전파 전송 손실을 예측하기 위하여 실제 경사면이 존재하는 제방 환경을 선택하여 모델링하고 시뮬레이션 하여 전파 전송 손실을 계산하였으며, 주파수 1-6GHz 대역에 대한 측정활동을 통해 전파전송 손실을 확인하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과와 측정 결과는 유사한 전파 전송 손실 경향을 보여주었으며 다양한 지형정보에 대한 전파 경로 손실 예측과 측정 결과들은 다양한 전파 업무 설계에 활용될 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 전파특성 분석에 유용한 마이크로 셀용 3D 시뮬레이터를 제시하였다. 지금까지 소개된 대부분의 전파특성 분석 결과들은 2차원 평면에서 거리에 따른 신호의 손실(Path Loss) 위주로 연구가 진행 되었다. 본 연구에서는 실내에서 전파특성을 분석하기 위해 다양한 ITU 모델을 사용하여 입체구조의 실내 환경에서 전파의 수신신호의 세기에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션에서 나타난 결과를 분석해보면 저 주파수(150MHz-400MHz) 대역과 고주파수 대역(2GHz-6GHz) 에서 전파특성이 많은 차이를 나타내고 있다. 그리고 각 수신기의 위치에서 수신 신호는 전파경로상의 벽면에서 손실되는 전력에 따라 차이가 생기기 때문에 송신기의 출력도 중요한 요인으로 분석되었다.

본 논문에서는 캡슐 내시경의 무선통신이 이루어지기 위한 환경 연구와 더불어 그에 적합한 수신 안테나를 설계하였다. 제안된 안테나는 인체와 같은 multi-loss layer환경에서 전파 손실을 최소화 하고 magnetic field를 이용하기 위해 루프 안테나로 설계했다. 주파수 대역은 인체 내 전파 손실을 고려하여 $400\~500$ MHz이고 FCC 규정에 따라 인체 각각의 조직에 대한 유전율과 도전율을 추출했다. 이를 하나의 등가 모델로 설정하고 그에 따른 유전율과 도전율을 계산해서 인체를 대신할 수 있는 수용액을 제조하였다. 전파 손실이 심한 인체 내에서 캡슐이 이동함에 따라 수신 레벨이 급격히 감소하기 때문에 배열 안테나가 요구된다. 1 mW의 신호를 송신하는 송신 안테나 위치에 상관없이 배열 안테나의 신호 레벨은 평균 -60 dBm 정도로 충분한 신호 검출이 가능한 것을 확인했다.

Owing to the difficulties associated with conducting millimeter-wave (mmWave) field measurements, especially in high-speed train (HST) environments, most propagation channels for mmWave HST have been studied using methods based on simulation rather than measurement. In this study, considering a linear cell layout in which base stations are installed along a railway, measurements were performed at 28 GHz with a speed up to 170 km/h in two prevalent HST scenarios: viaduct and tunnel scenarios. By observing the channel impulse responses, we could identify single- and double-bounced multipath components (MPCs) caused by railway static structures such as overhead line equipment. These MPCs affect the delay spread and Doppler characteristics significantly. Moreover, we observed distinct path loss behaviors for the two scenarios, although both are considered line-of-sight (LoS) scenarios. In the tunnel scenario, the path loss exponent (PLE) is 1.3 owing to the waveguide effect, which indicates that the path loss is almost constant with respect to distance. However, the LoS PLE in the viaduct scenario is 2.46, which is slightly higher than the free-space loss.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is comprised of a number of capillary tubes enclosed by porous ceramic wails, shaped like a plugged duct. Hot gas flows through the DPF along with the exhaust noise from Diesel engine. Based on previous works on the sound propagation through DPF, in this study, losses at entrance, exit, and ceramic walls are considered and the gradients in temperature and flow velocity are considered. Transfer matrix at entrance, monolith, and exit parts are obtained by employing the segmental approach in analyzing the sound propagation through DPF. The predicted transmission loss agrees very well with the empirical one, which is measured by the improved method with correction terms.
