Relative location of transceivers within a link

If the correlation mode for the considered path is set to correlated then no calculation is required since the relative location is determined by dX/dY parameters entered by the user in the scenario.

If the correlation mode is set to uncorrelated, then the relative location is calculated as follows:

• Trial of the distance factor according to the 'Path distance factor' distribution function set in the scenario (note that may be constant as well);

• Calculation of the distance as the product of the coverage radius of the transmitter of the considered link (calculated once for all snapshots before the start of the simulation or set fixed by the user in the scenario) by the above-mentioned distance factor;

• Trial of the transmitter-to-receiver angle according to the 'Path azimuth' distribution function set in the scenario (may be constant).

Then, assuming that the absolute position of one of the transceivers is known (established with reference to another link, depending on the It-Vr path correlation settings), the position of the other element in given link could be easily established using the above results on distance-angle inside the link.

Note: This information does not apply to placement of links in CDMA/OFDMA systems, which are modelled using specific algorithms.
