Yuvraj Singh . Comparison of Okumura, Hata and COST-231 Models on the Basis of Path Loss and Signal Strength. International Journal of Computer Applications. 59, 11 ( December 2012), 37-41. DOI=10.5120/9594-4216
Radio propagation is essential for emerging technologies with appropriate design, deployment and management strategies for any wireless network. It is heavily site specific and can vary significantly depending on terrain, frequency of operation, velocity of mobile terminal, interface sources and other dynamic factor. Accurate characterization of radio channel through key parameters and a mathematical model is important for predicting signal coverage, achievable data rates, BER and Antenna gain. Large scale path loss modeling plays a fundamental role in designing both fixed and mobile radio systems. Predicting the radio coverage area of a system is not done in a standard manner. Wireless systems are expensive systems. Therefore, before setting up a system one has to choose a proper method depending on the channel's BTS antenna height gain. By proper selecting the above parameters there is a need to select the particular communication model which show good result by considering these parameters.
