  17. Correlation Matrix

  18. Correlation Expectations

  19. Correlation MatrixBased on OPNET Sim Data

  20. Linear Regression (Native Units)Power vs. Packet Loss Ratio y = mx + b m = -2.48 x 106 b = 0.0935

  21. Linear Regression (Z Scores)Power vs. Packet Loss Ratio y = mx + b m = -0.3624 b = 0

  22. Linear RegressionSNR vs. Throughput y = mx + b m = 9.62 x 103 b = 5.41 x 105

  23. Linear RegressionThroughput vs. Packet Loss Ratio y = mx + b m = 9.62 x 103 b = 5.41 x 105

  24. OPNET Model IssuesDiscovered By Analysis • SNR model • Mathematical issue • Correctable in OPNET with modifications • BER model • Inadequate OPNET modulation curves • Correctable in OPNET with modifications

  25. Modulation CurveProduced Analytically r = -0.5621

  26. Conclusions • Correlation analysis • Power and SNR exhibit fairly strong correlation to network parameters • Low BER correlation due to model, not real effect • Regression analysis • Useful but of limited utility • Choosing appropriate physical layer data
