Link Budget It is the accounting of all of the gains and losses from the Transmitter, through the medium (free space, cable, waveguide, fiber, etc.) to the Receiver in a telecommunication system. Simple link budget equation Received Power = Transmitted Power + Gains Losses
Accounts for the attenuation of the transmitted signal due to Propagation Antenna gains Feedline and miscellaneous losses.

Link Budget Randomly varying channel gains such as fading are taken into account by adding some margin (depending on the anticipated severity of its effects ). The amount of margin required can be reduced by the use of mitigating techniques such as antenna diversity or frequency hopping. Link budgets are required for different terrains

18
Log-distance Path loss model
Uses the idea that both theoretical and empirical evidence suggests that average received signal strength decreases logarithmically with distance , whether in outdoor or indoor radio channels
To measure received signal strength near to transmitter and approximate to different distances based on above reference observation
19
Log-distance Path Loss Model
A radio propagation model that predicts the path loss that a signal encounters inside a building or densely populated areas over distance.
The average large-scale path loss for an arbitrary T-R separation is expressed as a function of distance by using a path loss exponent n.
20
Log-distance Path Loss ModelThe Mean loss in dB follows the power law .Average power (in dB) decreases proportional to log of distance
n = Path Loss Exponent Indicates the rate at which the path loss increases with distance The value of n depends on the specific propagation environment. In free space, n = 2 When obstructions are present, n > 221
Log-distance Path Loss Model
d0 = the close-in reference distance In large coverage cellular systems 1 km reference distances are commonly used The reference path loss is calculated using the Free space path loss formula" or through field measurements at distance d0.
d = T-R separation distance bar means the average of many PL values at a given value of d (T-R separation.)22
Log-distance Path Loss Model
23
Log-Normal Shadowing Limitations of Log-distance path loss normal Model Gives only the average value of path loss. Does not consider the fact that the surrounding environmental clutter may be vastly different at two different locations having the same T-R separation. Thus measured signals average value predicted are different than the
24
Log-normal shadowing The long-term variation in the mean level is known as shadowing or log-normal fading. This fading caused by shadowing. Observes that the environment can be vastly different at two points with the same distance of separation. Shadowing occurs when objects block LOS between transmitter and receiver
25
Log-normal shadowing Measurements have shown that at any value of d, the path loss PL(d) at a particular location is random and distributed lognormally A simple statistical model can account for unpredictable shadowing Add a Zero -mean Gaussian RV to Log-Distance PL The measured loss in dB varies about this mean according to a zero-mean Gaussian RV, X, with standard deviation
X : zero mean Gaussian random variable, a bell curve26
Log-Normal Shadowing
is the standard deviation that takes into account received signal strength variations due to shadowing n & are computed from measured data for different area types
27
Log-Normal Model This distribution is applicable where the propagation environment has high rising structures like tall buildings and trees. The signal does not adopt different propagation immediately after it is transmitted from the antenna. paths
Rather, it undergoes through multiple reflections or scattering through tall structures prior to adopting multiple paths to the receiver. Therefore, the signal reaching the receiver will not be the result of single scattering effect but will be the result of multiple scattering.
28
Log-Normal Model Multiple scattering introduces further fluctuation in the received signal. The long-term variation in the mean level is known as shadowing or log-normal fading. This fading is caused by shadowing.
Accounts for random variations in received power observed over distances comparable to the widths of buildings Extra transmit power (a fading margin) must be provided to compensate for these fades. Log normal distribution typical model for random attenuation Random due to random number and type of obstructions29

Longley Rice model To calculate large-scale median transmission loss relative to free space loss Available as a computer program to calculate large-scale median transmission loss relative to free space loss over irregular terrain for frequencies between 20 MHz and 10 GHz Geometric Optics Techniques (primarily the 2-ray ground reflection model) are used to predict signal strengths within the radio horizon. Diffraction losses over isolated obstacles are estimated using the FresnelKirchoff knife-edge models

35
Longley Rice model Shortcoming Does not provide a way of determining corrections due to environmental factors in the immediate vicinity of the mobile receiver Multipath not considered. Does not consider correction factors to account for the effects of buildings and foliage
36
Okumura Model Used for signal prediction in urban areas Applicable for frequencies in the range 150 MHz to 1920 MHz (Extrapolated up to 3000 MHz) Applicable for distances of 1 km to 100 km.
Totally based on measured data and does not provide any analytical explanation.
37
Okumura Model Median Attenuation Curve Okumura developed a set of curves giving the median attenuation (Amu ) relative to free space (Amu), in an urban area over a quasi-smooth terrain with a base station effective antenna height (hte) of 200 m and a mobile antenna height (hre) of 3m
These curves were developed from extensive measurements using vertical omni-directional antennas at both the base and mobile, Plotted as a function of frequency in the range 100 MHz to 1920 MHz and distance from the base station in the range 1 km to 100 km.
