Abstract

In this study, a comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) deterministic radio propagation model tailored for outdoor suburban environments has been demonstrated. The research delves into the application of Ray Tracing (RT) techniques to model the channel characteristics of microcell Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) at the 5.8 GHz frequency band. The simulations meticulously account for the directional properties of Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) links, which are obstructed by various environmental elements such as trees and buildings. By utilizing a detailed 3D digital map, all the relevant structures and vegetation are thoroughly examined and discretized in order to enhance the accuracy of the model. Signal strength at the receiver is computed by using the RT method and subsequently validated against empirical measurements. The model predictions exhibit strong concordance with the measured data, demonstrating a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) ranging from 0.59 dB to 7.19 db. These findings underscore the efficacy of the proposed model as a robust tool for microcellular radio planning in suburban settings, offering significant potential for enhancing the precision of wireless communication system designs in similar environments.
