2 EXTENDEDHATA(SRD)SE24DEVELOPEDPROPAGATIONMODEL
ThismodelisamodifiedversionoftheExtendedSE21Hatamodel,developedinCEPTwithintheProjectTeamSE24
forstudiesofShortRangeDevices(SRD).Thebasisformodificationwasanassumption,thatalthoughSRDdevicesare
usually operated at low antenna heights (typically personcarried devices, i.e. with antenna height of ca. 1.5 m), but
theinterferencewouldusuallyoccuratrelativelyshortdistances(upto100morso)whendirectornearLOSmight
be assumed. Therefore the expression of b(H
b
) parameter in the standard Hata model, giving large extra losses for
transmitter antenna heights below 30 m, was considered to be unnecessarily severe. Therefore the only difference
betweenHataSRDandHatamodellies inthenewexpressionfortheantennagainfactorb(H
b
),whichforHataSRD
modelisexpressedas
b=min(0,20log(Hb/30));
tobereplacedby:
b=(1.1log(f)0.7)*min(10,Hb)(1.56log(f)0.8)+max(0,20log(Hb/10));
Note:Thisexpressionassumesthatantennaheightsshouldnotexceed1.53m.
