QuaDRiGa
QuaDRiGa (QUAsi Deterministic RadIo channel GenerAtor) was developed at the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut to enable the modeling of MIMO radio channels for specific network configurations, such as indoor, satellite or heterogeneous configurations.
Besides being a fully-fledged three dimensional geometry-based stochastic channel model, QuaDRiGa contains a collection of features created in SCM(e) and WINNER channel models along with novel modeling approaches which provide features to enable quasi-deterministic multi-link tracking of users (receiver) movements in changing environments.
The main features of QuaDRiGa such as:
- Three dimensional propagation (antenna modeling, geometric polarization, scattering clusters),
- Continuous time evolution,
- Spatially correlated propagation parameter maps,
- Transitions between varying propagation scenarios
are explained in the feature section.
