Real-time analysis and forecasting of rain-induced attenuation patterns in terrestrial microwave links has gained increasing attention in the field of communication and meteorology, enabling preparation for upcoming events. This paper presents an empirical study of model-based and data-driven techni…
Modern infrastructures support smart-city operations, which are based on short millimeter-waves wireless links connected by a dense network. These links are sensitive to hydrometeors, and their signals attenuated by rain. In this study, we demonstrate that standard signal-level measurements being co…
In this paper we apply statistical signal processing methodologies on a real-world application of using Commercial Microwave Links (CMLs) as opportunistic sensors for rain monitoring. We formulate an appropriate parameter estimation problem, taking advantage on the empirically evaluated statistics o…
Cellular backhaul networks usually consist of commercial microwave links, known to be sensitive to weather conditions. The management network systems usually provide records of measurements of the transmitted and the received signals levels from the different microwave links for monitoring and analy…
A common way to describe the relation between rain-rate R [mm/h] and attenuation A [dB] in radio signal is the Power-Law A = aRb, where a and b are the Power-Law parameters, which depend on the radio signal (frequency, polarization) and on some properties of the specific environmental conditions. Th…
