Abstract

A study of how street width effects to street-cell NLOS path loss is presented in this paper. Street cell models with various street widths are composed by statistically generated building layouts. Then path loss in the cells is calculated by shooting and bouncing rays (SBR) method. Numerically simulated results are then compared with measurement data, obtained at Iwaki city, Japan. Our statistically derived path loss lines have found to have slightly larger loss than that of International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication section (ITU-R).
