Radio Propagation in Cellular Networks

From the Publisher: 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.
