Riassunto

Excerpt from Analysis of Radio-Propagation Environments to Support Standards Development for Rf-Based Electronic Safety Equipment

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (nist) has been involved in a multi-year project to support the development of performance metrics and test methods for radio-frequency (rf) - based electronic safety equipment used by the public safety community. The work reported here focuses on side-by - side measurements of radio-propagation environment characteristics and actual wireless-device performance in representative emergency responder environments. Identifying the radio-channel characteristics that significantly impair wireless-device performance in various environments enables the development of standardized Iaboratory-based test methods that simulate the conditions under which electronic safety equipment will be used in the field. The test methods can then be incorporated into consensus standards for this equipment.

The analysis presented here has been funded by the u.s. Department of Homeland Security's Standards Branch. The work reported here has focused on RF based personal alert safety systems (pass), used by firefighters to indicate when a firefighter is motionless or in distress. However, the methodology and analysis presented here could easily be extended to apply to other types of wireless devices that operate in a point - to - point mode.

In the propagation-channel studies, nist engineers measured path loss (attenuation) and the level of reflectivity (or multipath, here quantified by the root mean-square delay spread) in large public structures and environments where radio communications could be difficult. These environments include multi-story buildings; buildings with subterranean floors and tunnels; buildings with deep interior spaces; those with few windows; and outdoor urban canyons, consisting of city streets surrounded by tall buildings. The nist public-safety Communications Research Lab has funded the measurements of the propagation channel.
