Comparison of propagation models for Fixed WiMAX system based on IEEE 802.16-2004

The study of empirical propagation models for mobile channels has been done extensively, but the applicability of those models to a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) System is not appropriately tested. The candidate models include Hata - Okumura, COST 231 Hata, COST-Walfisch-Ikegami and Erceg. From those...

Summary:The study of empirical propagation models for mobile channels has been done extensively, but the applicability of those models to a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) System is not appropriately tested. The candidate models include Hata - Okumura, COST 231 Hata, COST-Walfisch-Ikegami and Erceg. From those models Erceg model seems to be the most suitable. In this paper field measurements are taken for the 3.5GHz Fixed WiMAX network in Katubedda, Sri Lanka. Those are used to validate the applicability of the above mentioned propagation models in a sub urban environment in Sri Lanka.
