Mobile and Terrestrial Propagation TG: Research Collaboration Forum

Established in 1996, this group focuses on mobile and terrestrial radiowave propagation mechanisms, including diffraction and scatter effects. It organizes meetings, technical presentations, and collaborates on data collection and model development. Explore industry-academia-government synergy.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Mobile and Terrestrial Propagation TG • Formed in Oct 96 by merging two TWPs: • Mobile Radio • Diffraction, Scatter and other Terrain Effects • Membership • 61 representatives from 36 organisations • good industry/academia/government balance

  2. TG Meetings • 4 meetings a year • average attendance: 23 • Meeting framework • Progress reports from members • Liaison with related groups • Regular technical presentations • by members and invited speakers • Special issues

  3. Mobile and Terrestrial TGTerms of Reference • Open to organisations who support the interchange of pre-competitive results • Covers the fields of mobile and terrestrial radiowave propagation mechanisms, particularly diffraction and scatter • Topics include • area coverage, macro-, micro-, pico-cell and indoor • effects of ground cover (inc. vegetation) • wideband channel characterisation • system- and antenna-related issues • terrain, ground-cover and measurements databases

  4. Previous Special Issues • Collation and maintenance of measurements results database • CD-ROM containing 50,000 measurement results and path profiles available to members • Terrain and 3D building databases • TG developed a common specification for 3D street-level building databases for data suppliers and users

  5. This Year’s Special Issues • Two working parties of the Mobile and Terrestrial TG reported on requirements for propagation data and model development: • BFWA (Mike Willis) • 3G (Simon Saunders/Sana Salous) • Report on “Strategic research requirements for Broadband Fixed Wireless Access” sent to RRAC • Project proposal on “Benchmarks for high-resolution mobile radio wave propagation models” submitted to RA for possible funding • rejected (too near market, too general)

  6. Future • TG regarded as a good forum for exchange of ideas and collaborative opportunities between researchers • open to all • wide range of propagation interests • Proposal to find new focus by replacing TG by new TGs on Mobile and FWA • membership evenly split on status quo or new TGs • New chairperson to be appointed • Are new ToR required? Concentrate on • topics of interest to members / topics of interest to RA ? • enabling research
