This Recommendation addresses systems in a frequen

For affected systems, rain methods are given to estimate diversity improvement by selecting the best base station from two and the coverage reduction under rainfall. Guidan

The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that for proper planning of terrestrial broadband radio access systems it is necessary to have appropriate propagation information and prediction methods; b) that Recommendations established for the design

12、 of individual links do not cover area aspects, recommends 1 that the propagation information and prediction methods set out in Annex 1 should be used when designing terrestrial broadband radio access systems, operating in a frequency range from 3 to 60 GHz. Annex 1 1 Introduction There is a growing

13、 interest in delivery of broadband services through local access networks to individual households as well as small business enterprises. Radio solutions are being increasingly considered as delivery systems, and these are now available on the market. Several systems are being considered and introdu

14、ced, such as local multipoint distribution system (LMDS), local multipoint communications system (LMCS), and point-to-multipoint (P-MP) system. Collectively, these systems may be termed broadband wireless access (BWA). International standards are being developed, for example WMAX based on IEEE 802.1

15、6 and HiperMAN. There is a need within the network planning, operator, and manufacturing communities and by regulators for good design guidance with respect to radiowave propagation issues. 2 Rec. ITU-R P.1410-5 2 Area coverage When a cellular system is planned the operator has to carefully select b

16、ase station location and height above the ground to be able to provide service to the target number of users within an area. The size of the cells may vary depending on the topography as well as on the number of users for which the radio service is being offered. This section presents a statistical

17、model for building blockage based on very simple characterization of buildings in an area and provides guidance based on detailed calculations. It also presents a vegetation attenuation model and some simple design rules. 2.1 Building blockage Building blockage probability is best estimated by ray-t

18、racing techniques using real data from detailed building and terrain databases. The requirements for ray-tracing techniques are briefly described in 2.1.1. However, in many areas, suitable databases are not available and the statistical model outlined in 2.1.2 is recommended. 2.1.1 Ray-tracing requi

19、rements An accurate coverage prediction can be achieved using ray-trace techniques in areas where a database of land coverage is available. Owing to the high frequency and short path lengths involved, straight line geometric optical approximations can be made. To a first order of approximation in es

20、timating coverage, an optical line-of-sight (LoS) determination of 60% of the 1st Fresnel zone clearance is sufficient to ensure negligible additional loss (see Fig. 1). Diffraction loss for non-LoS cases is severe. The accuracy of the buildings database will limit the accuracy of the ray prediction

21、 and the database must include an accurate representation of the terrain and buildings along the path. The Earth curvature must also be considered for paths 2 km. Buildings and vegetation should be considered as opaque for this procedure. FIGURE 1 Each building must lie below the LoS ray joining Tx

22、and Rx rrxrloshtxhloshrxMany buildingsRxTxMeasurements of signal characteristics when compared against ray-trace models have shown good statistical agreement, but the measurements demonstrated considerable signal variability with position and with time for paths without a clear LoS. Therefore, owing

23、 to the limited accuracy of real building databases, predictions of service quality for specific near LoS paths will not be possible. Rec. ITU-R P.1410-5 3 Vegetation, in particular tall trees and shrubs can cause severe service impairment and vegetation data should ideally be included in the databa

24、se. Measurements have indicated that, for service provision in a typical urban/suburban region, users impaired by multipath reflection effects are much rarer than those blocked by buildings or vegetation, owing to the narrow antenna beamwidth, and it is therefore not necessary to calculate reflectio

25、ns (see 4.2.1). The database used for ray-tracing evaluation may be a detailed object-oriented database, with terrain height, individual building outlines including roof height and shape data and with vegetation represented as individual trees or blocks of trees. As an alternative, in determining Lo

26、S, a raster database of spot height, such as generated from an airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurement may be used (see Table 1).

Efficient methods to calculate reflections in large databases have been the subje

28、ct of much research and literature. When considering multiple reflections and diffractions the problem becomes intractable for all but the most trivial of scenarios. For this reason a single-bounce reflection model, with each path to and from the reflector being subject to its own vertical and horiz

29、ontal diffractions losses is recommended. The rough surface scatter model It is suggested that to minimize computational overhead the simple model given here be used. The model is a scalar model for the incoherent scatter from a rough surface. That is, it only considers scattered power and ignores p

30、hase and polarization effects. Geometry Consider a rough surface facet F of area A. Let T and R be a transmitter and receiver. iand mare unit vectors in the directions TF and FR and n is the normal to the facet, Fig. 2. 4 Rec.

Propagation from T to F Assuming free-space propagation, the power flux-density (pfd) S (W/m2) at distance d1from T is: tPdS21244= (1) where is t

However as noted above, the model is only

Inclusion of specular reflections in interference modelling has a significant impact on the interference level predicted, especi

34、ally when directional antennas are used. For a fixed network with directional antennas in an urban scenario reflections should be modelled for accurate interference prediction. 18 Rec. ITU-R P.1410-5 It is important to understand the limitations of the scenario. Firstly the results are applicable to

35、 an urban area with high transmitter locations with large elevation angles over the short ranges that were examined. Lower transmitter locations might change the conclusions drawn. It is expected that rural and suburban scenarios would give significantly different results with regard to the breakdow

36、n of dominant propagation mechanisms. The absence of large reflective objects would reduce the influence of specular reflection though scattering may still be important. For suburban and rural scenarios inclusion and correct modelling of vegetation data is also very important. 2.4 Path loss dependen

37、ce on subscriber station (SS) antenna height Figure 10 shows the mechanism of the propagation over the rooftops based on a geometrical propagation model. We can divide the height variation of the path loss due to the base station (BS) subscriber station (SS) horizontal distance into three regions de

38、pending on the arriving wave that is dominant over the entire level. Figure 11 shows the geometry for the calculation of the height variation of the path loss in the following three regions. a) The direct wave dominant region where the BS-SS horizontal distance is very short (Fig. 11(a) In this regi

39、on, the direct wave can arrive at any height of the SS antenna. The path loss and the height variation of the path loss at the SS are dominated by the propagation loss of the direct wave (LoS region at any height of the SS antenna). b) The reflected wave dominant region where the BS-SS distance is r

40、elatively short (Fig. 11(b) In this region, a strong reflected wave as a one- or two-time reflected wave and diffracted wave can arrive at any height of the SS antenna in the non-line-of-sight (NLoS) region. The propagation loss of the minimum-time reflected wave arriving at any height of the SS ant

41、enna is lower than that of the diffracted waves in the NLoS region. The path loss and height variation of the path loss at the SS in this region are dominated by the reflected waves. The path loss in the relatively near region corresponds to the direct, one-, and two-time reflected wave components a

42、t the minimum height where the direct, one-, and two-time reflected waves arrive at the SS. c) The diffracted wave dominant region where the BS-SS distance is relatively long (Fig. 11(c) In this region, a strong reflected wave as a one- or two-time reflected wave can only just barely arrive at the S

43、S antenna in the NLoS region where the SS antenna height is lower than that of the surrounding buildings, and only weak many-time reflected waves and diffracted waves can arrive at the SS antenna. The propagation loss of the minimum-time reflected wave arriving at the SS becomes higher than that for

44、 the diffracted wave. The path loss and height variation of the path loss at the SS in the far region are dominated by the diffracted waves from the edge of the building roof. The path loss and height variation of the path loss at the SS nearly correspond to those for the diffracted wave. Rec. ITU-R

(NOTE The range of the antenna height of the SS covers continuously from LoS to NLoS regions.) Based on these propagation mechanisms, the loss due to the SS antenna height between isotropic antennas can be divided into three regions in terms of the dominant arriving waves at the SS. These are the direct wave dominant region (LoS region), reflected wave dom
