Mobile Signal Path Losses in Microcells behind Buildings

The paper presents measurement results of the GSM (900 MHz band), UMTS (2100 MHz band), and LTE (1800 MHz band) propagation path loss (PL) in the urban area behind the buildings of ten different heights. The results were compared with the 7 most popular models. It was found that the existing models...

Description
Summary:The paper presents measurement results of the GSM (900 MHz band), UMTS (2100 MHz band), and LTE (1800 MHz band) propagation path loss (PL) in the urban area behind the buildings of ten different heights. The results were compared with the 7 most popular models. It was found that the existing models approximate the experimental results with relatively large errors. The new model, which evaluates the path loss variation nature behind the buildings, is proposed. This new model shows good agreement with measurements for all three mobile technologies. The average relative error is less than 6.5 %.
