This paper presents an extensive path loss measurement campaign carried out in rural areas at 3.7 GHz, including line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS conditions. For this purpose, a commercially established fixed wireless access (FWA) network is exploited, operating with time-division long term evolution configuration. Furthermore, various models are examined and validated regarding their ability to predict accurately the path loss. The results reveal that the standard propagation model (SPM) achieves the best performance, thus being an attractive option for planning rural FWA links. The WINNER II and 3GPP/ITU-R models exhibit very good performance, as well. From the statistical assessment, the shadow fading follows the Lognormal distribution with a standard between 4.6 and 5.4 dB. An almost excellent fit is obtained regardless of the diverse propagation conditions in the specific area. Finally, from the model evaluation was concluded that SPM is highly recommended as the best option for a precise network dimensioning and planning. |
