A Statistical Evaluation of Indoor LoRaWAN Environment-Aware Propagation for 6G: MLR, ANOVA, and Residual Distribution Analysis
- 融合温湿度等环境变量的多元线性回归模型
- 引入环境变量后未解释方差降低42.32%
- 四分量高斯混合模型最准确刻画信号残差
室内LoRaWAN部署中的路径损耗建模因结构遮挡、人员密度与活动及环境波动而极具挑战。本研究基于德国锡根大学霍尔德林街校区单层办公室六个月内采集的1,328,334条实测数据,提出两阶段分析方法。首先构建包含距离、墙体等传统传播指标,并扩展引入相对湿度、温度、二氧化碳、颗粒物及气压等环境变量的多元线性回归模型;通过方差分析证实,加入环境因素可使未解释方差减少42.32%。其次,对残差分布进行五种候选分布(正态、偏态正态、柯西、学生t分布及2至5成分高斯混合模型)拟合比较,结果表明四成分高斯混合模型对室内信号传播残差异质性描述最精确,显著优于单一分布方法。研究表明,在6G超可靠、情境感知通信需求下,环境感知建模能显著提升动态室内物联网部署中LoRaWAN网络设计性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Modeling path loss in indoor LoRaWAN technology deployments is inherently challenging due to structural obstructions, occupant density and activities, and fluctuating environmental conditions. This study proposes a two-stage approach to capture and analyze these complexities using an extensive dataset of 1,328,334 field measurements collected over six months in a single-floor office at the University of Siegen's Hoelderlinstrasse Campus, Germany. First, we implement a multiple linear regression model that includes traditional propagation metrics (distance, structural walls) and an extension with proposed environmental variables (relative humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and barometric pressure). Using analysis of variance, we demonstrate that adding these environmental factors can reduce unexplained variance by 42.32 percent. Secondly, we examine residual distributions by fitting five candidate probability distributions: Normal, Skew-Normal, Cauchy, Student's t, and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) with 2 to 5 components. Our results show that a four-component Gaussian Mixture Model captures the residual heterogeneity of indoor signal propagation most accurately, significantly outperforming single-distribution approaches. Given the push toward ultra-reliable, context-aware communications in 6G networks, our analysis shows that environment-aware modeling can substantially improve LoRaWAN network design in dynamic indoor IoT deployments.
