Abstract

Path-loss prediction algorithms for advanced wireless communication system planning have long considered the effect of electromagnetic propagation over buildings between the base station and subscriber. It briefly discusses the theory of reflection, diffraction and scattering over urban, suburban and rural area. This research is to present the implementation of different models for predicting the path loss between a base station antenna and mobile station antennas. The prediction of path loss is a very important step in planning a mobile radio system and accurate prediction methods are needed to determine the parameters of a radio system which will provide efficient and reliable coverage of a specified service area. The significant of this research is to determined the best emperical method for predicting the path loss between base station antenna and mobile station. This research describes three chosen path loss models which is Hatta-Okumura model, Stanford University Interim (SUI) model and Ericson model. In this research, the analyzing model above in different distance range, height of base station and height of mobile station in urban, suburban and rural environment. As a conclusion, in order to build an effective communication link the precise path loss prediction is very important. For each type of terrains (urban, suburban and rural) Hatta-Okumura model are the best path loss prediction model.
