Kriging-Based 3-D Spectrum Awareness for Radio Dynamic Zones Using Aerial Spectrum Sensors

IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, 24(6), 9044–9058.

By: S. Maeng*, O. Ozdemir n, I. Guvenc n & M. Sichitiu n

author keywords: 3-D spectrum awareness; Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless (AERPAW); antenna radiation pattern; I/Q samples; Kriging interpolation; long-term evolution (LTE); propagation modeling; radio dynamic zones (RDZ); reference signal received power (RSRP); Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP); unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
TL;DR: 3-D Kriging interpolation technique provides significantly better radio maps when compared with an approach that assumes perfect knowledge of path loss, and the root-mean-square error of the signal power prediction achieved by the proposed 3-D Kriging method is notably lower compared to that of the perfect path loss-based prediction.
