Abstract :
We study the influence of the configuration and distribution of transmitters on radio environment maps. We adopt a statistical approach, treating total received power as a random field characterised with second-order statistics. Using extensive simulations we characterise the effects of changing node counts, distribution of node locations, transmit powers and propagation environments on the studied statistics. We also comment and discuss applications of these results and the methods employed especially from the dynamic spectrum access point of view.
