Study on path loss model for macrocell environment using percentage of area occupied by buildings for 5G

Abstract

We propose a correction formula using the percentage of area occupied by buildings, α, for a path model in the urban macrocell environment defined in ITU-R M.2135 based on measurements performed in Japan for below 6 GHz for 5G. Based on analysis, the regression results of the correction formula in which S, the median of the difference between the measured path loss and that of the reference path model is proportional to α, is better than when S is proportional to the logarithm of α.
