NLOS path loss evaluation for street-cell environment

Non Line of Sight (NLOS) path loss has been investigated by using the Shooting and Bouncing Rays (SBR) method. Two building layouts; continuously connected and non-connected building layouts, are used to check the street propagation characteristics and leakage effect due to the building gaps. Based on the statistical data numerically generated buildings are placed along the streets and path loss are evaluated along them. It is found that the predictions by ITU-R model give us somewhat less path loss for our streetcell models.
