This repository is accompanying the paper "An Efficient Frequency Diversity Scheme for Ultra-Reliable Communications in Two-Path Fading Channels" (K.-L. Besser, E. Jorswieck, J. Coon, Journal of Communications and Networks, 2024. arXiv:2206.13459).
The idea is to give an interactive version of the calculations and presented concepts to the reader. One can also change different parameters and explore different behaviors on their own.
The following files are provided in this repository:
run.sh
: Bash script that reproduces the figures presented in the paper.Ultra-Reliability Two-Ray Ground Reflection.ipynb
: Jupyter notebook that contains interactive plots of most of the results shown in the paper.util.py
: Python module that contains utility functions, e.g., for saving results.model.py
: Python module that contains utility functions around the two-ray ground reflection model.single_frequency.py
: Python module that contains the functions to calculate the receive power when a single frequency is used.two_frequencies.py
: Python module that contains the functions to calculate the receive power when two frequencies are used in parallel.optimal_frequency_distance.py
: Python module that contains the algorithm to calculate the optimal frequency spacing for worst-case design.rate_comparison.py
: Python module that contains the functions to calculate the achievable rates for the different scenarios.outage_probability.py
: Python module that contains the functions to estimate the outage probabilities.uav_example.py
: Python module that contains the UAV example.
The easiest way is to use services like Binder to run the notebook online. Simply navigate to https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/klb2/two-ray-ultra-reliability/HEAD to run the notebooks in your browser without setting everything up locally.
If you want to run it locally on your machine, Python3 and Jupyter are needed. The present code was developed and tested with the following versions:
- Python 3.10
- Jupyter 1.0
- numpy 1.22
- scipy 1.8
- sdeint 0.2.4
Make sure you have Python3 installed on your computer. You can then install the required packages (including Jupyter) by running
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
This will install all the needed packages which are listed in the requirements file. The second line enables the interactive controls in the Jupyter notebooks.
Finally, you can run the Jupyter notebooks with
jupyter notebook
You can also recreate the figures from the paper by running
bash run.sh
