“…Provided that physical distance between transmitted and receive nodes is known exactly, state of channel can be identified by comparing likelihood values for each of estimates (TOA, RSS, and RDS), conditioned on distance. Shimizu et al [12] performed intensive measurements of path-loss and delay-profile characteristics of LOS and NLOS environments in a suburban residential area. Based on their analysis, they found that the delay spread was dependent on distance, and NLOS delay spread was found to be several times larger than that of LOS case.…”
