Abstract :
In this paper we propose an empirical radio propagation model for the relaying system with low height terminals. The model differentiates line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation paths for increased accuracy by employing an easy-to-use expression. It takes into account the effect of transmitter height, receiver height, receiver location and environmental parameters and it is also complemented by shadow fading statistics, namely the distribution and autocorrelation function estimation. Finally, cell coverage for mobile-to-mobile systems is also discussed.
