The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that for the proper planning of Earth-space land mobile systems it is necessary to have appropriate propagat

10、ion data and prediction methods; b) that the methods of Recommendation ITU-R P.618 are recommended for the planning of Earth-space telecommunication systems; c) that further development of prediction methods for specific application to land mobile-satellite systems is required to give adequate accur

11、acy in all regions of the world and for all operational conditions; d) that, however, methods are available which yield sufficient accuracy for many applications, recommends 1 that the methods contained in Annex 1 be adopted for use in the planning of Earth-space land mobile telecommunication system

12、s, in addition to the methods recommended in Recommendation ITU-R P.618. Annex 1 1 Introduction Propagation effects in the land mobile-satellite service (LMSS) differ from those of the fixed-satellite service (FSS) primarily because of the greater importance of terrain effects. In the FSS it is gene

13、rally possible to discriminate against multipath, shadowing and blockage through the use of highly directive antennas placed at unobstructed sites. Therefore, in general, the LMSS offers smaller link availability percentages than the FSS. The prime availability range of interest to system designers

14、is usually from 80% to 99%. * This Recommendation should be brought to the attention of Radiocommunication Study Group 5. 2 Rec. ITU-R P.681-8 This Annex deals with data and models specifically needed for predicting propagation impairments in LMSS links, which include tropospheric effects, ionospher

15、ic effects, multipath, blockage and shadowing. It is based on measurements ranging from 870 MHz in the UHF band up to 20 GHz. 2 Tropospheric effects 2.1 Attenuation Signal losses in the troposphere are caused by atmospheric gases, rain, fog and clouds. Except at low elevation angles, tropospheric at

16、tenuation is negligible at frequencies below about 1 GHz, and is generally small at frequencies up to about 10 GHz. Above 10 GHz, the attenuation can be large for significant percentages of the time on many paths. Prediction methods are available for estimating gaseous absorption (Recommendation ITU

17、-R P.676) and rain attenuation (Recommendation ITU-R P.618). Fog and cloud attenuation is usually negligible for frequencies up to 10 GHz. 2.2 Scintillation Irregular variations in received signal level and in angle of arrival are caused by both tropospheric turbulence and atmospheric multipath. The

18、 magnitudes of these effects increase with increasing frequency and decreasing path elevation angle, except that angle-of-arrival fluctuations caused by turbulence are independent of frequency. Antenna beamwidth also affects the magnitude of these scintillations. These effects are observed to be at

19、a maximum in the summer season. A prediction method is given in Recommendation ITU-R P.618. 3 Ionospheric effects Ionospheric effects on Earth-to-space paths are addressed in Recommendation ITU-R P.531. Values of ionospheric effects for frequencies in the range of 0.1 to 10 GHz are given in Tables 1

20、 and 2 of Recommendation ITU-R P.680. 4 Shadowing 4.1 Roadside tree-shadowing model Cumulative fade distribution measurements at 870 MHz, 1.6 GHz and 20 GHz have been used to develop the extended empirical roadside shadowing model. The extent of trees along the roadside is represented by the percent

21、age of optical shadowing caused by roadside trees at a path elevation angle of 45 in the direction of the signal source. The model is valid when this percentage is in the range of 55% to 75%. 4.1.1 Calculation of fading due to shadowing by roadside trees The following procedure provides estimates of

22、 roadside shadowing for frequencies between 800 MHz and 20 GHz, path elevation angles from 7 up to 60, and percentages of distance travelled from 1% to 80%. The empirical model corresponds to an average propagation condition with the vehicle driving in lanes on both sides of the roadway (lanes close

23、 to and far from the roadside trees are included). The predicted fade distributions apply for highways and rural roads where the overall aspect of the propagation path is, for the most part, orthogonal to the lines of roadside trees and utility poles and it is assumed that the dominant cause of LMSS

24、 signal fading is tree canopy shadowing (see Recommendation ITU-R P.833). Rec. ITU-R P.681-8 3 Parameters required are the following: f : frequency (GHz) : path elevation angle to the satellite (degrees) p : percentage of distance travelled over which fade is exceeded. Step 1: Calculate the fade dis

27、n angles in the range 20 7, the fade distribution is assumed to have the same value as at 20. Figure 1 shows fades exceeded at 1.5 GHz versus elevation angles between 10 and 60 for a family of equal percentages between 1% and 50%. 4.1.1.1 Extension to elevation angles 60 The roadside shadowing model

28、 at frequencies of 1.6 GHz and 2.6 GHz can be extended to elevation angles above 60 with the following procedure: apply equations (1) to (5) at an elevation angle of 60 at the above frequencies; linearly interpolate between the value calculated for an angle of 60 and the fade values for an elevation

29、 angle of 80 provided in Table 1; linearly interpolate between the values in Table 1 and a value of zero at 90. 4 Rec.

31、satellite systems The prediction method above was derived for, and is applied to, LMSS geometries where the elevation angle remains constant. For non-GSO systems, where the elevation angle is varying, the link availability can be calculated in the following way: a) calculate the percentage of time f

32、or each elevation angle (or elevation angle range) under which the terminal will see the spacecraft; b) for a given propagation margin (ordinate of Fig. 1), find the percentage of unavailability for each elevation angle; c) for each elevation angle, multiply the results of step a) and b) and divide

33、by 100, giving the percentage of unavailability of the system at this elevation; Rec. ITU-R P.681-8 5 d) add up all unavailability values obtained in step c) to arrive at the total system unavailability. If the antenna used at the mobile terminal does not have an isotropic pattern, the antenna gain

34、at each elevation angle has to be subtracted from the fade margin in step b) above. In the case of multi-visibility satellite constellations employing satellite path diversity (i.e. switching to the least impaired path), an approximate calculation can be made assuming that the spacecraft with the hi

35、ghest elevation angle is being used. 4.1.2 Fade duration distribution model Optimal design of LMSS receivers depends on knowledge of the statistics associated with fade durations, which can be represented in units of travelled distance (m) or (s). Fade duration measurements have given rise to the fo

36、llowing empirical model which is valid for distance fade duration dd 0.02 m. 2 )l n ()l n (e r f121)|( ddAAddFDP q(6) where )|( qAAddFDP represents the probability that the distance fade duration, FD, exceeds the distance, dd (m), under the condition that the attenuation, A, exceeds Aq. The designat

37、ion “erf” represents the error function, is the standard deviation of ln(dd), and ln() is the mean value of ln(dd). The left-hand side of equation (6) was estimated by computing the percentage number of “duration events” that exceed dd relative to the total number of events for which A Aq in data ob

38、tained from measurements in the United States of America and Australia. The best fit regression values obtained from these measurements are 0.22 and 1.215. Figure 2 contains a plot of P, expressed as a percentage, p, versus dd for a 5 dB threshold. The model given by equation (6) is based on measure

39、ments at an elevation angle of 51 and is applicable for moderate to severe shadowing (percentage of optical shadowing between 55% and 90%). Tests at 30 and 60 have demonstrated a moderate dependence on elevation angle: the smaller the elevation angle, the larger is the fade duration for a fixed perc

40、entage. For example, the 30 fade duration showed approximately twice that for the 60 fade duration at the same percentage level. 4.1.3 Non-fade duration distribution model A non-fade duration event of distance duration, dd, is defined as the distance over which the fade levels are smaller than a spe

41、cified fade threshold. The non-fade duration model is given by: )()|( ddAAddN F Dp q (7) where )|( qAAddN F Dp is the percentage probability that a continuous non-fade distance, NFD, exceeds the distance, dd, given that the fade is smaller than the threshold, Aq. Table 2 contains the values of and f
