A new approach for estimating indoor radio propagation characteristics

Presents a new approach for estimating the propagation characteristics of indoor radio channels. The technique is based on the use of principal component analysis and the information theoretic criterion. It is shown, based on the simulation results, that the new technique can be used to overcome difficulties experienced by conventional methods and, as a result, is able to produce greater accuracy in its estimates of the channel parameters. The authors demonstrate the use of this technique by carrying out data analysis using measured indoor radio channel data.<
