Q-D realization software
A MATLAB open-source channel model specialized for mmWave RF applications.
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.mscript and edit the variablescenarioNameStrwith 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/BoxLectureRoomscenario by default. - Run the
main.mscript
Documentation
More details about the software can be found in the documentation (docs/Documentation.pdf).
Features
- Open-source
- Ray-tracing based on the method of images
- Specifically tailored for mmWave propagation, considering specular reflection and ignoring diffraction
- Quasi-Deterministic ray diffusion model based on real-world measurements is included
- Material libraries for ray diffusion are also included
- Trace-based mobility is supported
- Accepts CAD files in XML and AMF formats
