Summary:
We present a statistical path loss model derived from 2.2 GHz and 5.2 GHz experimental data collected in rural areas. The frequency range of the model is extended from that of the COST-231 Hata model (from 1500 to 2000 MHz) to assume broadband fixed wireless access service using the S band or C band, and the correction factor for the subscriber antenna height in rural areas from the Hata model and the COST-231 Hata model is reconsidered because both models use the same factor as urban area. To understand the basic propagation characteristics, the experiment was conducted over quasi-smooth terrain by not including the influence from ground undulations. The resulting path loss model is applicable to base station antenna heights from 10 to 43 m, subscriber antenna heights from 4.5 to 10 m, and base-tosubscriber distances of less than 20 km for suburban and quasi-open areas.
