Empirical Modeling of Nomadic Peer-to-Peer Networks in Office Environment

We experimentally characterize nomadic peer-to peer channels in a multi-wall indoor office environment. In particular, we derived models of path-loss, shadowing and fading statistics at 3.8 GHz in fixed scenarios, and compare them with existing results. Highlights of the paper include a multi-wall path loss model, the separation between obstruction, nomadic, and dynamic shadowing, a dynamic shadowing correlation model, as well as a multi-link analysis of MIMO links.
