Q-D realization software

A MATLAB open-source channel model specialized for mmWave RF applications.

Contributors

Snapshot for our Q-D realization app

Table of Contents

Installation

The software does not require any installation procedure: simply download or clone the repository to your local folders.

Requirements

The codebase is written in MATLAB. It is currently being tested on MATLAB R2019b, but it should be backward-compatible down to MATLAB R2016b.

No toolboxes are needed to run the code.

How to Run

  • Open the main.m script and edit the variable scenarioNameStr with your scenario folder relative path if desired (please note that scenarios creation/configuration/interpretation is described in the documentation).
  • The software is configured to run the examples/BoxLectureRoom scenario by default.
  • Run the main.m script

Documentation

More details about the software can be found in the documentation (docs/Documentation.pdf).

Features

  1. Open-source
  2. Ray-tracing based on the method of images
  3. Specifically tailored for mmWave propagation, considering specular reflection and ignoring diffraction
  4. Quasi-Deterministic ray diffusion model based on real-world measurements is included
  5. Material libraries for ray diffusion are also included
  6. Trace-based mobility is supported
  7. Accepts CAD files in XML and AMF formats
