Comparative Analysis of Path Loss Prediction Models for Urban Macrocellular Environments
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PATH LOSS PREDICTION MODELS FOR URBAN MACROCELLULAR ENVIRONMENTS A. Obota, O. Simeonb, J. Afolayanc Department of Electrical/Electronics & Computer Engineering, University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. aEmail: [email protected] bEmail: [email protected] cEmail: [email protected] Abstract A comparative analysis of path loss prediction models for urban macrocellular environments is presented in this paper. Specifically, three path loss prediction models namely free space, Hata and Egli were used to predict path losses. The calculated path loss values were compared with practical measured data obtained from a Visafone base station located in Uyo, Nigeria. The comparative analysis reveals that the mean square error (MSE) for free space, Hata and Egli were 16.24dB, 2.37dB and 8.40dB respectively. The results showed that Hata's model is the most accurate and reliable path loss prediction model for macrocellular urban propagation environments, since its MSE value of 2.37dB is smaller than the acceptable minimum MSE value of 6dB for good signal propagation.

ITU Journal: ICT Discoveries, Special Issue No. 1, 2 Feb. 2018 ON ADAPTIVE NEURO-FUZZY MODEL FOR PATH LOSS PREDICTION IN THE VHF BAND Nazmat T. Surajudeen-Bakinde1, Nasir Faruk2, Muhammed Salman1, Segun Popoola3, Abdulkarim Oloyede2, Lukman A. Olawoyin2 1Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, University of Ilorin, Nigeria 2Department of Telecommunication Science, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria 3Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria Email: [email protected]; [email protected]; faruk.n, deenmat, oloyede.aa, olawoyin.la{@unilorin.edu.ng} Abstract – Path loss prediction models are essential in the planning of wireless systems, particularly in built-up environments. However, the efficacies of the empirical models depend on the local ambient characteristics of the propagation environments. This paper introduces artificial intelligence in path loss prediction in the VHF band by proposing an adaptive neuro-fuzzy (NF) model. The model uses five-layer optimized NF network based on back propagation gradient descent algorithm and least square errors estimate. Electromagnetic field strengths from the transmitter of the NTA Ilorin, which operates at a frequency of 203.25 MHz, were measured along four routes. The prediction results of the proposed model were compared to those obtained via the widely used empirical models. The performances of the models were evaluated using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Spread Corrected RMSE (SC-RMSE), Mean Error (ME), and Standard Deviation Error (SDE), relative to the measured data. Across all the routes covered in this study, the proposed NF model produced the lowest RMSE and ME, while the SDE and the SC-RMSE were dependent on the terrain and clutter covers of the routes. -

Optimised COST-231 Hata Models for Wimax Path Loss Prediction in Suburban and Open Urban Environments
www.ccsenet.org/mas Modern Applied Science Vol. 4, No. 9; September 2010 Optimised COST-231 Hata Models for WiMAX Path Loss Prediction in Suburban and Open Urban Environments Mardeni.R Faculty of Engineering, Multimedia University Jalan Multimedia, 63100 Cyberjaya, Malaysia Tel: 60-3-8312-5481 E-mail: [email protected] T. Siva Priya (Corresponding author) Faculty of Engineering, Multimedia University Jalan Multimedia, 63100 Cyberjaya, Malaysia Tel: 60-12-287-6023 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In Malaysia, the incumbent WiMAX operator utilises the bands of 2360-2390MHz to provide broadband services. Like all Radio Frequency (RF), WiMAX is susceptible to path loss. In this paper, field strength data collected in Cyberjaya, Malaysia is used to calculate the path loss suffered by the WiMAX signals. The measured path loss is compared with the theoretical path loss values estimated by the COST-231 Hata model, the Stanford University Interim (SUI) model and the Egli model. The best model to estimate the path loss based on the path loss exponents was determined to be the COST-231 Hata model. From this observation, an optimised model based on COST-231 Hata parameters is developed to predict path loss for suburban and open urban environments in the 2360-2390MHz band. The optimised model is validated using standard deviation error analysis, and the results indicate that the new optimised model predicts path loss in both suburban and open urban environments with very low standard deviation errors of less than 4.3dB and 1.9dB respectively. These values show that the model optimisation was done successfully and that the new optimised models will be able to determine the path loss suffered by the WiMAX signals more accurately. -
Adjustment of Lee Path Loss Model for Suburban Area in Kuala Lumpur-Malaysia
2011 International Conference on Telecommunication Technology and Applications Proc .of CSIT vol.5 (2011) © (2011) IACSIT Press, Singapore Adjustment of Lee Path Loss Model for Suburban Area in Kuala Lumpur-Malaysia Jalel Chebil+, Ali K. Lwas, Md. Rafiqul Islam and Al-Hareth Zyoud Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia P.O. Box: 10, 50728 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Path loss models are essential for appropriate wireless network planning as they assist in interference estimations, frequency assignments, and the evaluation of cell parameters. One of the commonly used propagation models is the Lee model which is characterized by its simplicity and good prediction accuracy. This study will estimate the best values for the two parameters of Lee model (γ and L0) which are suitable for suburban environment in Malaysia. The performance of the adjusted Lee model is then compared to the three widely used empirical path loss models which are: Sanford University Interim, COST231 Hata and Egli models. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the Chi square test (χ2) are used to compare the performance of the four empirical path loss models. The study found that the adjusted Lee model outperforms the other empirical models. Keywords: path loss, wave propagation, empirical models. 1. Introduction Propagation models have traditionally focused on predicting the received signal strength at a given distance from the transmitter, as well as the variability of the signal strength in a close spatial proximity to a particular location [1]. They are very helpful to mobile radio service providers for planning their networks because they allow optimization of the cell coverage while minimizing the intercell interference. -

Abstract— Channel properties influence the development of Propagation models that predict the mean signal strength wireless communication systems. Unlike wired channels that are for an arbitrary transmitter-receiver seperation distance are stationary and predictable, radio channels are extremely random useful in estimating the radio coverage area of a transmitter and and don’t offer easy analysis. A Radio Propagation Model are called large-scale propagation model. On the other hand, (RPM), also known as the Radio Wave Propagation Model propagation models that characterize the rapid fluctuations of (RWPM), is an empirical mathematical formulation for the the received signal strength over very short travel distances or characterization of radio wave propagation as a function of short time durations are called small scale or fading models [1]. frequency. In mobile radio systems, path loss models are necessary for proper planning, interference estimations, In this paper, the wideband propagation performance of frequency assignments and cell parameters which are the basic Okumura, Hata, and Lee models has been compared varying for network planning process as well as Location Based Services Mobile Station (MS) antenna height, propagation distance, and (LBS) techniques. Propagation models that predict the mean Base Station (BS) antenna height considering the system to signal strength for an arbitrary transmitter-receiver (T-R) operate at 900 MHz. -
