Signal Propagation Ranges
Multipath propagation
The path loss is a fundamental unit for radio network planners, since it
affects the minimum number of basestations (dimensioning) and the
necessary output power (link budget). ( Here n is called pathloss
exponent2)
Neither hills between BS and MS nor local effects around the receiver
(reflections, shadowing, etc.) are taken into account.

COST-Hata Model
The new model is known under the name: COST-Hata model and is defined for
the following parameters:
• frequency (f = 1500…2000 MHz)
• distance between transmitter and receiver (r = 1 …20 km)
• antenna height of transmitter (hBS = 30…200 m)
• antenna height of transmitter (hMS = 1…10 m).

1、Application condition:
GSM900/1800:
MS antenna height 1~10米;
Communication distance:20m~5km;
2、Basic idea:
The macro cellular model basis is: the propagation loss between
the BS and the MS is dependent on the surrounding environment
of the MS; but within 1km, the direction of the buildings around
the BS and the streets seriously affect the propagation loss between
the BS and the MS, so the macro cellular model mentioned earlier
is not suitable for the forecast within 1km.
