Overview

Radio Propagation in Cellular Networks delivers the most comprehensive description of propagation phenomena in urban, suburban, and rural environments to help you improve the efficiency of wireless communications systems. It is also the first book to consider the full algorithm for radio coverage prediction and cellular characteristic prediction to increase performance of radio and cellular map design.

This thorough book helps wireless local loop, stationary and wireless system designers construct radio coverage maps, predict cellular characteristics in communications channels, design and split cellular maps, and predict cellular systems performance in complex, urban environments.

This book includes analysis of free space propagation over regular and irregular terrain, reflection and diffraction by various obstacles, including hills, buildings, and trees, and well as the effects of scattering due to such obstacles and terrain. This is an essential sourcebook on radio propagation for wireless communication planners, designers and engineers, and it emphasizes behavior of waves in the UHF/L-frequency band throughout.

"...shows how to apply propagation theory to construct radio coverage maps, design & split cellular maps, & predict cellular systems' performance in complex, urban environments ...also includes an analysis of free space propagation.

Examines the different situations of wireless communication in an urban scene and various propagation phenomena that influence the transmission of radio signals through urban communication channels, both line-of-sight and obstructive propagation conditions for the transmitter and receiver antennas. The phenomena treated include free-space propagation above regular and irregular terrain, reflection and diffraction by various obstacles regularly or randomly distributed on the terrain, and effects of scattering from such obstacles and from the ground surface. In view of wireless-communications practice, behavior of waves in the UHF/L-frequency is emphasized throughout. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
