Introduction
• Provide a two path model that agrees with the empirical measurements presented by Steve Shearer in the IEE802.15-09-0742-00-004g submission
• Provides model data showing that the channel is not stationary in time or frequency over NLOS paths due to moving vehicles

Objective
• Quantify the coherence bandwidth and coherence time of the channel as a result mobile vehicle NLOS paths for stationary AMI meters– Provide a mathematical model– Predict how fast the channel is changing and its
impact on packet dwell time– Predict the effect of mobile vehicles on frequency
selective fading and its effect on propagation. How much of the spectrum is faded for how long and how fast is it changing.

Assumptions
• The radio transmitter has a NLOS refracted fixed path and a reflected path fixed or mobile path to the receiver
• The radio receiver’s direct and reflected paths are at the same average signal level
• The vehicle is moving at 13.4 m/sec (30 mph)

Fading as a Function of Frequency
• Non-Stationary frequency fades typically between 1 to 3 MHz wide will appear in the spectrum due to the reflected signals from moving vehicles
• Fades will last typically 150 ms for vehicle speeds of 30 mph• Stationary objects will create stationary frequency nulls in the spectrum • Small changes in the environment will cause the fades to change drastically

Conclusions
• For non-line-of-sight paths, multipath reflections from fixed objects will cause deep stationary nulls.
• Nulls will move in frequency with time due to reflections from vehicles as they pass by.
• Typical null bandwidth is ~2 MHz at 20db point
• Typical null duration is ~100 mS• Coherence time of the channel will be on the
order of 5-10ms

Conclusion continued
• Given the results presented: OFDM may be ineffective unless very wide, over 10 MHz.– not practical within the 900 ISM band
• Frequency hopping is required to dodge moving nulls caused by multipath.
• Packet size must be kept under 100 ms to have a high probability of success.
