Abstract
Recently, measurements on clutter loss due to buildings in urban/suburban areas at 3, 6, 10, 18, and 24 GHz have been performed by the Radio Research Agency with the purpose of predicting the clutter loss close to actual urban/suburban propagation for 5G mobile communication. In this work, we have compared the urban clutter loss to suburban clutter loss for a transmit antenna height of 85 m. Furthermore, we have estimated the error between the predicted loss as per ITU-R P.2108 and the measured clutter loss. Our results indicate that for higher frequencies, the measured clutter loss in urban/suburban areas is higher and so lower than the predicted clutter loss. In conclusion, it is necessary to improve the prediction model for clutter loss by taking into account the measured clutter loss in urban/suburban areas in the prediction model.
