Area Coverage Simulations for Millimeter Point-to-Multipoint Systems Using Building Blockage

Abstract

Area coverage simulation results for LMDS or PMP systems in millimeter waveband are presented in this paper. Area coverage simulations were performed according to ITU-R P.1410 model, where Rayleigh statistical distribution with g = 7.95 is used to model the building heights. Morphological data of the city of Prague were used to calculate a new set of values g. The model was optimized to local conditions. Area coverage prediction results using the new set of values g are also presented. Accuracy of the model was increased due to suggested modification.
