HeavyRF Table Functions

Summary of parameters for base and optional versions

The HeavyRF package provides the following system table functions:

tf_rf_prop_max_signal (Directional Antennas and Terrain Attenuation)

Taking a set of point elevations and a set of signal source locations as input, tf_rf_prop_max_signal executes line-of-sight 2.5D RF signal propagation from the provided sources over a binned 2.5D elevation grid derived from the provided terarin locations, calculating the max signal in dBm at each grid cell, using the formula for free-space power loss. The terrain should contain columns for ground elevation, terrain elevation (which should be greater than or equal to the ground elevation height), and terrain attenuation in dbm per meter, specifying the degree to which signal will be attenuated if it passes between the terrain and ground elevations (i.e. through a tree or building). The RF source ID contributing the strongest signal is also outputted.

When geographic_coords is set to true, x and y input coordinates are assumed to be lon/lat degrees. A best-fit conversion to a meters coordinate system is executed using the change in meters per lon/lat degree at the centroid of the input terrain, using the haversine distance formula. For convenience and optimal performance, tf_rf_prop_max_signal enables filter push-down by default, such that filters on the outputs rf_source_id, x, y, and elevation_amsl_meters are pushed down to the respective inputs in the rf_sources and terrain_elevations Cursor subqueries.

BOOLEAN

N/A

true specifies that the input x and y arguments for RF sources and terrain elevations are in lon/lat degrees. false specifies that the data is already in a local meter coordinate system.

BOOLEAN

bin_dim_meters

N/A

Width and height of each binned terrain cell, which is the unit of granularity over which the RF propagation algorithm is executed.

DOUBLE

assumed_receiver_height_agl

N/A

DOUBLE

max_ray_travel_meters

N/A

Maximum meters for which to model RF propagation from any given source. Lower values can increase performance, but potentially miss the strongest repeater for a terrain cell that is further away than the value set.

DOUBLE

BIGINT

rays_per_bin_autosplit_threshold

N/A

Minimum ratio of radial rays per bin, below which the ray is split into two to ensure ray coverage of terrain bins as distance increases from the rf_source. 1.5 is a safe default value to use.

DOUBLE

min_receiver_signal_strength_dbm

N/A

The minimum signal strength threshold in dBm to continue propagating a signal ray from a source. Rays stop being propagated when either the distance from the source exceeds the limit set by max_ray_travel_meters, or the signal strength (as measured by free-space power loss, assuming no obstructions in the path) drops below the value set by min_receiver_signal_strength_dbm.

DOUBLE

assumed_source_height_above_ground

N/A

The default height in meters above ground level for a source if there is no input data in the terrain_elevations for the terrain bin in which a given rf_source lies.

DOUBLE

ray_step_bin_multiple

N/A

The step, in number of bins (can be fractional), used to increment the ray propagation as the ray radiates out from the RF source. Lower values of this (below 1.0) can increase accuracy of the simulation, but decrease performance. Values above 1.0 are not recommended because they can cause gaps in the output.

DOUBLE

loop_grain_size

N/A

The size in number of rays at which to parallelize over; threads will process rays in groups of at least this size. A reasonable value might be 10, although changing this number may improve performance, depending on hardware configuration.

tf_rf_prop

Used for generating top-k signals where 'k' represents the maximum number of antennas to consider at each geographic location. The full relevant parameter name is strongest_k_sources_per_terrain_bin. For example, if k is set to 3, the function will return up to three overlapping antenna signals based on their strength. In that case, if only 2 signals are present, they will be returned. and if 5 signals are actually present, only the strongest 3 will be recorded.

This version of the RF function can be used in optimizing antenna placements use cases or to minimize interference. For example, you might simulate repeater antenna placements on every lampost across an area, but then only plan to keep the top-performing ones. By allowing overlaps in the initial simulation, you avoid introducing coverage gaps when dropping out antennas, while also avoiding the requirement of multiple simulations.
