4D morphology model with feedback loop

This paper addresses innovative ways of dealing with the impact of morphology on network engineering. There are many different morphologies and each has unique impact on the network engineering and planning. For example, different types of trees will have different impact on the propagation. Also, it behaves differently if it is weather sensitive. In this invention, a 4D (time of the year, height, width and length of the morphology) database and associated algorithm are proposed to deal with the impact on system engineering. The key point of this algorithm is that it includes means to feedback and integrate measured data from the field so that the 4D morphology model can be tuned (supports full flexibility) to better handle different situations. Inventions include first the fundamental concept of dealing with morphology in a integrated way with system propagation. The morphology specific slope will be derived and applied to the existing model. Second, is the algorithm of deriving these morphology slopes. Third, is to include the morphology in the calculation of shadow loss. Fourth, is to identify and integrate the morphology impact on time variance and associated engineering algorithm.
