“…The attenuation of signal is mainly due to path loss which is the average loss at a given distance. Hence, path loss is one of the RF link budget prediction model elements of primary investigation, and radio propagation models typically focus on realization of the path loss with the auxiliary task of predicting the area of coverage for a transmitter or modeling the distribution of radio signals over different regions [4,5].…”

This paper presents a study to design and analysis of an RF link budget analysis model with a primary focus on the real urban propagation microcell environment to analyze the mobile signal loss factors during the propagation and to calculate the transmitting signal power at the transmitter end. The link budget analysis prediction system utilizes a combined model that demonstrates appropriateness to reliable link design in order to develop a flexible RF link budget analysis prediction model for mobile communication systems cellular network link planning in urban propagation microcell environment.

An exact radio propagation model is important for coping up with new challenges in the field of communication like: appropriate design, deployment and service management strategies for any wireless network. Analysis of outdoor propagation models is important for the purpose of signal coverage prediction, data reception analysis of performance parameters like Rx Lev, Rx Qual, FER, BER, reception schemes, and analysis of signal attenuation under different environments and in the determination of the optimum location for the purpose of installation of base stations. The aim of this work is to carry out a comparative study of different outdoor propagation models with respect to empirical data collected from DIT University (formally Dehradun Institute of Technology), Dehradun by drive testing using TEMS Investigation tools at 1.8GHz. This study involves obtaining the mean received power distribution at specified receiver distance from the respective GSM base station. The measurement process was based on signal strength measurement and the study revealed that out of all the outdoor propagation models. Only COST Hata model, COST Hata W-B model and Ericsson model approximated the measurement characteristics and hence they can be deployed for network planning in this region. Measurement process of signal strength and data collection methodology also discuss in this paper.

“…TEMS 10.0.5 has been used for drive test measurement for the region of DIT University, Dehradun. Main objective of drive testing is to provide real time data based on test site of coefficient, which minimizes the prediction error [3]. Measurement process started with a Hata's propagation models by default.…”

Predication of path loss is based on obtaining the mean received power distribution at specified receiver distance from the respective GSM base station. The measurement process was based on signal strength measurement and the study revealed that out of all the outdoor propagation models. COST Hata model, COST Hata W-B model and Ericsson model approximated the measurement characteristics and hence they can be deployed for network planning in this region and select the best propagation model for that region.
