Using the Uniform Theory of Diffraction to Analyze Radio Wave Propagation along Urban Street Canyons for Device-to-Device Communication. Electronics. 2023; 12(3):593. https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics12030593 https://hdl.handle.net/10630/26065 https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics12030593 This paper examines the propagation of radio waves in so-called urban street canyons through formulations based on Geometrical Optics (GO) and the Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD). As this type of environment comprises a street flanked by tall buildings more or less equally spaced on both sides (creating a canyon-like morphology), estimating the attenuation that radio signals may experience in these scenarios is crucial to the planning of urban device-to-device (D2D) wireless communication. In this sense, the results obtained through the analysis based on GO/UTD (in the horizontal plane containing the transmitter and receiver) are validated by a comparison with experimental measurements, showing good agreement. This work demonstrates how the use of GO/UTD-based formulations can contribute to a simpler and computationally more efficient planning of D2D mobile communication systems in which the considered propagation environment can be modeled as an urban street canyon comprising rectangular and equispaced buildings. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ open access Atribución 4.0 Internacional Optica geométrica Using the Uniform Theory of Diffraction to Analyze Radio Wave Propagation along Urban Street Canyons for Device-to-Device Communication journal article
