Method for frequency environment modeling and characterization
First Claim
1. A method for determining the scattering characteristics of a radio frequency environment, comprising the steps of:
- producing a wavelet representation of an incoming signal; and
comparing the wavelet representation of the incoming signal with an expected wavelet representation of the incoming signal to produce a measure of the number of multipath components in the incoming signal.

Abstract
The present invention provides an RF model that characterizes the scattering hostility in an RF environment through a set of parameters. The parameters essentially provide a description of the amount of multipath that an RF signal would incur if it were to travel in the RF environment. Thus, such an RF model can be used to predict the amount of signal degradation that a given RF signal would experience when transmitted from any point in the RF environment. As a result, the RF model can be used to determine whether a given RF signal, if transmitted from a given point in an RF environment, could be received by a receiver located at another point in the RF environment. Advantageously, the RF model can characterize the scattering hostility in an RF environment without being programmed with volumes of environmental information.
