AbstractThis work provides an introduction to one of the most widely used advanced methods for wave propagation modeling, the Parabolic Equation (PE) method, with emphasis on its application to tropospheric radio propagation in coastal and maritime regions. The assumptions of the derivation, the advantages and drawbacks of the PE, the numerical methods for solving it, and the boundary and initial conditions for its application to the tropospheric propagation problem are briefly discussed. More details are given for the split-step Fourier-transform (SSF) solution of the PE. The environmental input to the PE, the methods for tropospheric refractivity profiling, their accuracy, limitations, and the average refractivity modeling are also summarized. The reported results illustrate the application of finite element (FE) based and SSF-based solutions of the PE for one of the most difficult to treat propagation mechanisms, yet of great significance for the performance of radars and communications links working in coastal and maritime zones — the tropospheric ducting mechanism. Recent achievements, some unresolved issues and ongoing developments related to further improvements of the PE method application to the propagation channel modeling in sea environment are highlighted.

This article aims to provide readers with a physical understanding of the propagation channel that is complementary to mathematical channel modeling. It presents an analysis of the directional propagation channel based on radiophotos. Radiophotos are graphical objects where directions of arrival are superimposed on three-dimensional (3D) panoramic photographs. The interaction between electro magnetic waves and the environment is immediately identified with these representations. This paper focuses on the direction of arrival at mobile in an urban macrocell environment. The first radiophoto collection illustrates the major propagation phenomena such as reflection, diffraction, or street canyoning. The second collection illustrates typical propagation channel profiles that are classified according to delay, azimuth, and elevation spread values. The paper also describes an original panorama-based method for estimating noise level in the azimuth–elevation domain.

Localization has become an important aspect in a wide range of mobile services with the integration of the Internet of things and service on demand. Numerous mechanisms have been proposed for localization, most of which are based on the estimation of distances. Depending on the channel modeling, each mechanism has its advantages and limitations on deployment, exhibiting different performances in terms of error rates and implementation. With the development of technology, these limitations are rapidly overcome with hybrid systems and enhancement schemes. The successful approach depends on the achievement of a low error rate and its controllability by the integration of deployed products. In this study, we propose and analyze a new distance estimation technique employing photography and image sensor communications, also named optical camera communications (OCC). It represents one of the most important steps in the implemented trilateration localization scheme with real architectures and conditions of deployment which is the second our contribution for this article. With the advantages of the image sensor hardware integration in smart mobile devices, this technology has great potential in localization-based optical wireless communication
