Measurement and modeling of propagation losses in a building at 900 MHz
J.-F. LaFortune,M. Lecours +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical attenuation model based on estimates of transmission, refraction, and diffraction phenomena occurring in the transmission path is elaborated, which fits the data with + or 2 dB for 68% of the 729 measurements, the standard deviation between measurements and prediction being slightly less than 3 dB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of Gilbert's and Fritchman's models parameters using the gradient method for digital mobile radio channels
TL;DR: A digital mobile radio channel simulator based on Gilbert's and Fritchman's models with the parameter values as estimated using the gradient technique is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propagation loss prediction: A comparative study with application to the mobile radio channel
TL;DR: The method proposed by Hata, based on Okumura's results, and Allsebrook and Parsons' model, which provides an easy way to take into account the influence of buildings are the most complete and it is suggested to use them with the inclusion of an estimation of diffraction losses due to terrain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical modeling of the received signal envelope in a mobile radio channel
TL;DR: In this paper, propagation loss measurements taken in the Ottawa region in the 900-MHz frequency band are reported and discussed, and significant statistical parameters for a mobile radio channel, such as the mean, the standard deviation of the signals, the level crossing rates and the fading distance, are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of error sequences in UHF digital mobile radio channels
TL;DR: In the data analyzed, no trend has been observed in the Fritchman parameter as a function of the type of area or of vehicle speed.
