Please add all technical terms that you encountered during the seminar, including a verbose description of their meaning. Please keep those terms in an alphabetical order.

Word, Description of the word

  • Multi-path fading A phenomenon from the domain of wireless networks. A signal emmitted by a source node follows different paths on its way to the reciever node. In particular, the reciever node not only recieves the signal following the "`line of sight"' path, but also copies of this signal with a slight offset in time. Those copies followed a longer path and probably got reflected several times before reaching their destination. Because of these reflections the copies tend to be increasingly attenuated as time progresses.
