Refraction in an ionospheric layer

Ray paths
![Page 6: Lecture 3: Propagation Modelling](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813419550346895d9b050c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Cellular Networks
• Network organised in cells• Each access point has a set
of channels to service the users within the cell
• The set of channels can be reused when the signal to interference ratio is low enough.
![Page 7: Lecture 3: Propagation Modelling](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813419550346895d9b050c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Macrocells
• Give services in urban, suburban and rural areas. The cell radii varies from about 1 km to many tens of km.
• Few users per area unit.
• Base stations antennas are mounted on high buildings or on masts to get better coverage.
![Page 8: Lecture 3: Propagation Modelling](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813419550346895d9b050c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Microcells
• In urban or suburban areas• Cell radii is approximately 500 m• Very high traffic density (many users per
area unit).• Antennas mounted lower than the
buildings around it to decrease the cell coverage are
• More cells/unit area can services more users.
![Page 9: Lecture 3: Propagation Modelling](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813419550346895d9b050c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Indoor Cells (Picocells)
• High data rates and high traffic densities for both mobile and fixed users
• Coverage area influenced by– Layout of the building– Construction material (wood transparent to
radio waves, well reinforced concrete is not).– Shape of rooms
![Page 10: Lecture 3: Propagation Modelling](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813419550346895d9b050c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Propagation modelling
• To predict coverage areas in mobile cellular telephone systems, simple propagation models are needed.– Empirical methods– Physical models– Hybrid methods

Measurements
[Saunders, 1999]
![Page 12: Lecture 3: Propagation Modelling](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813419550346895d9b050c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Emperical methods
• Models are usually based on actual path loss measurements.– Curve fitting is used to obtain an analytical function for
the model.– Parameters are given by: distance, frequency,
antenna heights, distance to nearest building.
• Validity of the model may be limited (dependent on the environment)
• Models are practical and easy to use but not very accurate.

Physical Models
• A physical model needs a very detailed description of the terrain and other clutter.– Large amount of data needed.– Excessive computational effort needed.
• The important parameter for the macrocell designer is the area covered, not the field strength at particular locations.

Computerised Planning Tools
• The enormous increase in the need to plan cellular systems accurately and quickly
• The development of fast, affordable computing resources
• The development of geographical information systems
• Example:– TEMS CellPlanner, Ericsson AB
