Résumé
Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radio propagation occurs outside of the typical line-of-sight (LOS) between the transmitter and receiver, such as in ground reflections. Near-line-of-sight (also NLOS) conditions refer to partial obstruction by a physical object present in the innermost Fresnel zone. Obstacles that commonly cause NLOS propagation include buildings, trees, hills, mountains, and, in some cases, high voltage electric power lines. Some of these obstructions reflect certain radio frequencies, while some simply absorb or garble the signals; but, in either case, they limit the use of many types of radio transmissions, especially when low on power budget. Lower power levels at a receiver reduce the chance of successfully receiving a transmission. Low levels can be caused by at least three basic reasons: low transmit level, for example Wi-Fi power levels; far-away transmitter, such as 3G more than away or TV more than away; and obstruction between the transmitter and the receiver, leaving no clear path. NLOS lowers the effective received power. Near Line Of Sight can usually be dealt with using better antennas, but Non Line Of Sight usually requires alternative paths or multipath propagation methods. How to achieve effective NLOS networking has become one of the major questions of modern computer networking. Currently, the most common method for dealing with NLOS conditions on wireless computer networks is simply to circumvent the NLOS condition and place relays at additional locations, sending the content of the radio transmission around the obstructions. Some more advanced NLOS transmission schemes now use multipath signal propagation, bouncing the radio signal off other nearby objects to get to the receiver. Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) is a term often used in radio communications to describe a radio channel or link where there is no visual line of sight (LOS) between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna. In this context LOS is taken Either as a straight line free of any form of visual obstruction, even if it is actually too distant to see with the unaided human eye As a virtual LOS i.

Faisceau hertzien
vignette|Tour hertzienne du Gemeindealpe, Autriche. vignette|Relais hertzien. Un faisceau hertzien est un système de transmission de signaux mono-directionnel ou bi-directionnel et généralement permanent, entre deux sites géographiques fixes. Il exploite le support d'ondes radioélectriques, par des fréquences porteuses allant de (gamme des micro-ondes), focalisées et concentrées grâce à des antennes directives.
Rayleigh fading
Rayleigh fading is a statistical model for the effect of a propagation environment on a radio signal, such as that used by wireless devices. Rayleigh fading models assume that the magnitude of a signal that has passed through such a transmission medium (also called a communication channel) will vary randomly, or fade, according to a Rayleigh distribution — the radial component of the sum of two uncorrelated Gaussian random variables.
Radiodiffusion
La radiodiffusion est l'émission de signaux par l'intermédiaire d'ondes électromagnétiques destinées à être reçues directement par le public en général et s'applique à la fois à la réception individuelle et à la réception communautaire. Ce service peut comprendre des émissions sonores, des émissions de télévision ou d'autres genres d'émission. Il s'agit d'une forme de radiocommunication. Le terme radio est souvent utilisé pour toute la chaîne de conception et de réalisation d'émissions de radio, la transmission avec les émetteurs radio et la réception au travers des postes de radio.
