[email protected] Abstract - The aim of comparing different outdoor like: adhoc wireless network, wireless sensor network, propagation models is to study the earlier introduced models mobile communications etc. Between the two extremes of in the present environment of RF technology and present & past times, the mid-time arena have seen requirement. In the present era of telecom services coverage development of various propagation models like: Line of is not enough but we need to introduce cellular network with sight, okumura-Hata, cost etc. In order to facilitate better high quality parameters. In this comparison review we will focus on the type of terrain/ environment which will best suit planned & resource specific developments for the bet the different outdoor propagations models. HHHterment of QOS. This period of time also noticed several developments in the field estimation path loss in Keywords - Pathloss, Attenuation, Optimization, Antenna different propagation scenario profiles deploying variable Gain, Interference. modelling strategies. I. INTRODUCTION II. RADIO PROPAGATION The ability to communicate with people on the move has A. Types of Radio wave propagation mechanisms evolved remarkably since Guglielmo Marconi first To study and understand the modelling of radio wave demonstrated radio‟s ability to provide continuous contact propagation, it is first required to know the basics of its with ships sailing the English Channel. That was in year propagation mechanism.
