There have been traditional approaches to model radio propagation path loss mechanism both theoretically ad empirically. Theoretical approach is simple to explain and effective in certain cases. Empirical approach accommodates the terrain configuration and distance between base station and mobile unit along the propagation path only. In other words, it does not accommodate natural terrain configuration over a specific area. In this paper, we propose a spatial prediction technique for the mobile radio propagation path loss accommodating complete natural terrain configuration over a specific area. Statistical uncertainty analysis is also considered.

Microwave(M/W) bands, though having great demand in wireless services, have been used mostly for long distance communications. As a result, the studies on their mobile radio models have been made less than on VHF/UHF. However, as the mobile communication services with M/W bands have been increasing, the development of a more accurate prediction model of the mobile radio environments has been demanded. The development of a reliable radio prediction model in the mobile radio environments requires the measurement and analysis of the characteristics of the radio waves according to reflection, diffraction and scattering of radio signals in various mobile radio environments. The proposed 8 GHz band radio prediction models have 2 different categories: (1) LOS model and (2) non-LOS model. The LOS model predicts signal strength using the analytic result with measured pathless exponents for the waves direct and reflected by ground and buildings, and the non-LOS model suggests a prediction model of received power by calculating the signal variations after diffraction.

To implement a mobile radio system, wave-propagation models are necessary to determine propagation characteristics accurately, Currently, the empirical/theoretical prediction models for urban environments are fairly well-developed. But there is a lack of a suitable prediction model for mountain region. So in this paper, to develop the prediction model for mountain region, propagation environments are classified based on three basic mechanisms: reflection, diffraction, penetration(absorbtion and scattering), and measurements have been performed for the classified mountain regions including open area, forest and ridge. Using the measurement data, empirical modeling of propagation characteristics are performed, and then a prediction model for mountain region is proposed.

In the development of a new wireless communications system, a versatile and accurate radio channel for indoor communications is needed. In particular, the investigation of radio transmission into buildings is very important. In this letter, we present an improved three-dimensional electromagnetic wave propagation prediction model for indoor wireless communications that takes into consideration building penetration loss. A ray tracing technique based on an image method is also employed in this study. Three-dimensional models can predict any complex indoor environment composed of arbitrarily shaped walls. A speed-up algorithm, which is a modified deterministic ray tube method, is also introduced for efficient prediction and computation.

A multi-ray model has been used to interpret radio transmission losses in half-canyon structures with slope and to formulate a multi-ray propagation model depending on the angle of slopes. The cut-off angles for the third and fourth paths, which are the slope-sided reflection paths of the transmission and reception radio waves determined by the inclined angles of the slope, were calculated with the height and location of the transmitter and receiver. To predict transmission losses in an inclined plane environment, the embankment environment where the actual slope exists was modeled and simulated to calculate the loss of propagation transmission, and the radio wave transmission loss was confirmed by the measurement for the frequency band 1 to 6 GHz. Simulation results and measurement results showed similar trends in radio transmission loss, and radio transmission loss predictions and measurement results for various terrain information can be used in the design of radio propagation service.

In this paper, radio-wave propagation characteristics in a rectangular corridor are investigated using a tunnel model of reduced dimensions. Measurements were carried out on vertical polarization characteristics in the frequency range from 2 GHz to 10 GHz. The experimental results for the propagation constant in tunnel model agree satisfactorily with theoretical prediction. It is shown that model method is applicable in determining the propagation characteristics in tunnel.

Korea Railroad Research Institute has developed the driverless rubber-tired K-AGT (Korean-Automated Guideway Transit) system from 1999 to 2005 and has done its performance and reliability tests on the test line at Gyeongsan-city. Radio Frequency Communication-Based Train Control system of K-AGT, which employed Advanced Automated Train Control scheme, detects train position using the radio propagation delay between wayside and vehicle radio equipment. In this paper, we investigate whether the transmission power of radio system can be reduced to the permitted level announced by the Ministry of Information and Communication for license-free ISM(Industrial Scientific Medical) frequency bands. We first determine radio propagation model, using the measured data at test line, and perform simulation for radio coverage prediction. From the simulation results, we identify that the radio system operated with reduced power can provide good link quality in total test line.

Japan and South Korea since 2004 until now for the broadcast channel interference, by measuring the ongoing conflict are expected to prepare for the future, but Korea's preparation are not enough. In this study, it is pointed that cause of the interference through channel environmental analysis, and effective application of propagation prediction model was carried out between neighboring countries. Between Korea and Japan, radio duct occurs on hold due to changes in the refractive gradient, and comfirmed occurrence of broadcasts interference. The results are presented that 1% time variable, -91.80 [N-units/km], 10% time variable, -43.92 [N-units/km], 50% time variable, -586.19 [N-units/km], for effective refractive gradient. Proposed refractive gradient could contribute to actual radio propagation prediction.

Recently, as the demands for radio spectrum are growing and the number of cell sites is increasing rapidly, the spectrum engineering plays an important role in estimating frequency sharing and reuse. The radio propagation analysis is essential in the basic technology of radio network design such as deciding the service area and selecting the position of the base station. But, domestic propagation environment in which mountainous region is occupying over 70% of our terrain does not allow us to apply foreign studies which are deduced in highly different environments. Therefore, we need to have our propagation analysis system derived from our own terrain condition. In this paper, we propose the propagation prediction model which issuitable toour propagation environment, and also usinghis model, we implement thesimulator based on GIS(Geographic Information System)which can be applied to both spectrum engineering and radio propagation analysis. We showed that this simulator can well be applied to frequency assignment, propagation network design as well as other radio services. Considering the results of our analysis, we could guarantee the standard deviation of error between the measured data and predicted results as 5 to 7 dB.

TETRA(TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) provide specialized disaster radio communication services as a standard European for digital TRS(Trunked Radio System). Especially, DMO(Direct Mode Operation) feature is used effectively in the radio shadow areas which base station does not propagate radio signal because it can communicate directly with terminal to terminal without base station's relay function. However, to effectively used DMO feature, radio coverage prediction information should be provided to users. Therefore in this paper, we were calculated link budget of TETRA DMO terminals which were distributing and operating in the country and then predicted reaching distance about radio propagation to be applied with path loss model.
