SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology: Modelling Using Copula Functions

Kelmendi, Arsim; Švigelj, Aleš; Javornik, Tomaž; Hrovat, Andrej

This book describes multi-site diversity modelling of induced rain attenuation statistics for satellite communication systems using copula functions. It gathers all relevant state-of-the-art knowledge, provides the missing pieces and rounds them up in a way that the reader is given a complete picture of important modelling factors and ways to address them. The books’ main features include: 

• Data post-processing methodology for statistical analysis based on our Earth-satellite propagation experiments. 
• Two novel multi-site diversity prediction models based on Gaussian copula considering distance between stations or considering distance, baseline, and elevation angle.
• Two novel multi-site diversity prediction models based on hyperbolic cosecant copula considering distance between stations or considering distance, baseline, and elevation angle. 
• Exhaustive comparative tests and error performance of the prediction models showing that improved error performance is achieved compared to the ITU R model and to the state-of-the-art models.
