Channel Models for the Error Injector Unit

Abstract

This report discusses channel modeling for the generation of error patterns to conduct experimentation in RADC's Network Design Laboratory. The interference process and impairments in most real communication channels are such that errors tend to occur in clusters. Channel models based on Markov chains are able to generate error sequences which are typical of the error patterns produced by real channels. Four-state Markov channel models for HF, troposcatter and AUTOVON channels described in the report are considered suitable for demonstration and experimentation. Further research is needed in the area of channel modeling especially in the presence of jamming. Keywords: Communications networks; Test evaluation; Simulation.
