Indoor propagation is necessary where outdoor propagation don't work perfectly like house, buildings, sports arena. Different material is used in different types of building then signal doesn't propagate as well as in outdoor. So There are different models for different Scenarios due to different environment, wall, etc.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Microwave transmission uses very-high frequency
signals
Frequency range:300MHz-300Ghz
Wavelengths range in air:100cm-1mm
The two types of microwave transmission
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves
Microwave
Terrestrial
Satellite
1
2
3. • Unidirectional
• Propagation is line-of sight.
• Repeaters are needed for long distance communication.
• Very high frequency microwaves cannot penetrate walls.
• Wave band is relatively wide almost 299GHZ → a high data rate
• Use of certain portion of the band requires permission from
authorities.
Microwave
Microwaves are used for unicast communication such as
cellular telephones, satellite networks, and wireless LANs.
5. • Terrestrial microwave transmissions are sent between
two microwave stations on the earth (earth station).
• It is the most common form of long-distance
communication.
• Terrestrial microwave systems operate in the low-
gigahertz range
• Use a parabolic dish to focus a narrow beam onto a
receiver antenna
Terrestrial Microwave
6. Used for long-distance telephone service
Parabolic dish transmitter, mounted high
Used for both voice and TV transmission
Used by common carriers as well as private
networks
Terrestrial Microwave cont.
Applications
7. fewer repeaters but requires line of
sight transmission
Higher frequencies give higher data rates
• common frequencies used for transmission
are in the range 1 to 40GHz.
main source of loss is attenuation
caused mostly by distance, rainfall and
interference
Terrestrial Microwave cont.
Transmission characteristics
9. A communication satellite is a microwave relay station
Used to link two or more ground stations
Receives on one frequency (uplink), amplifies or repeats
signal and transmits on another frequency (downlink)
eg. uplink 5.925-6.425 GHz & downlink 3.7-4.2 GHz
frequency bands are called transponder channels
Requires geo-stationary orbit
rotation match occurs at a height of 35,863 km at the equator
need to be spaced at least 3° - 4° apart to avoid interfering
with each other
spacing limits the number of possible satellites
Satellite Microwave
10. Satellite Microwave cont.
Most communications satellites are placed into orbit 22,300 miles above the
earth's surface. The earth's gravity keeps the satellite in orbit at the same rate as
the earth (geosynchronous orbit). Such satellites are called geosynchronous
orbiting satellites (GEOS).
Low earth orbiting satellites (LEOS) orbit the earth at a height of 325-1,000 miles
and they orbit around the poles (not in a fixed position relative to the earth).
Medium earth orbiting satellites (MEOS) are similar to LEOS but are positioned
at 6,000-10,000 miles above the earth.
Because microwaves use line-of-sight, the satellite signal can only reach a part of
the earth. This area is called a footprint.
At a glance, categories of satellites
12. Satellite Microwave cont.
Private business networks
satellite providers can divide capacity into channels to lease to individual business
users
Television distribution
programs are transmitted to the satellite then broadcast down to a number of
stations which then distributes the programs to individual viewers
Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) transmits video signals directly to the home user
Long-distance telephone transmission
high-usage international trunks
Global positioning
Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS)
Applications
13. Satellite Microwave cont.
the optimum frequency range for satellite transmission
is 1 to 10 GHz
lower has significant noise from natural sources
higher is attenuated by atmospheric absorption and precipitation
satellites use a frequency bandwidth range of 5.925 to
6.425 GHz from earth to satellite (uplink) and a range of
3.7 to 4.2 GHz from satellite to earth (downlink)
this is referred to as the 4/6-GHz band
because of saturation the 12/14-GHz band has been developed
(uplink: 14 - 14.5 GHz; downlink: 11.7 - 12.2 GHz
Transmission characteristics
15. Microwave Transmission
Disadvantages
line of sight requirement
They require no obstacle is present in the
transmission path
expensive towers and repeaters
subject to interference such as passing
airplanes and rain
