Path loss characteristics at 800 MHz to 37 GHz in urban street microcell environment

Abstract

A model for predicting path loss from the microwave band to the millimeter wave band for street microcell environments is presented. Developed on the basis of measurement results, the model uses visibility to predict path loss characteristics. It reduces the root mean square errors of prediction results by more than 2.5 dB at bands above 26 GHz, demonstrating its ability to predict measurement results accurately.
