Pathloss and Channel Model Considerations for P802.11ah Authors: Date: September 18, 2011 Klaus Doppler, Nokia
September 2011 Abstract • Currently proposed channel and pathloss models (doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0883r0) includes a placeholder for an outdoor STA-STA pathloss model. This contribution reviews outdoor STA-STA pathloss models for urban environments in literature and proposes a STA-STA pathloss model.
STA-STA pathloss models in urban environment Very few pathloss model and measurement results for STA-STA link in urban environment available • Z. Wang, E.K. Tameh, A. R.

Pathloss model summary • [1] PL_NLOS = 4.01+ 10*5.86 log10 (d in m) (f=2GHz)PL_LOS = 31.48 + 10*2 log10(d in m) (f=900MHz) • [2] Model needs explicit modeling of streets and fewer measurements compared to 1. However, their measurements also suggest a pathloss exponent of 6-7 in NLOS case (only few measurements) • [3] PL_NLOS (h_STA=1.5m, f=900MHz) = 16.90 + 42.4*log10(d in m) Proposal use the model in [3] which is based on measurements compared to the model in [1] which has been derived from a ray-tracing model Klaus Doppler, Nokia
Frequency scaling 2GHz 900MHz • The Path-loss model in [1] can be converted to frequency range 450 – 900 MHz by applying different frequency dependence coefficients in the range 20 – 35 dB per decade specified for frequency ranges 0.45 – 1.5, 1.5 –2.0 and 2.0 – 6.0 GHz separately. (See Table 4-1. in [4]) • Pathloss for urban scenario decreases 10.18dB from 2GHz to 900MHz • PL_NLOS = -6.17+ 58.6 log10 (d in m) Klaus Doppler, Nokia
Pathloss model comparison • More than 20dB difference at a distance of 1km when using AP-STA pathloss model compared to STA-STA models in urban scenario Klaus Doppler, Nokia
Proposal • Include one of the following two options in the channel model document section 3.2 (outdoor pathloss model for D2D) • The antenna height is assumed 1.5m and the path loss in [dB] is given by the formula Option 1: PL= 16.90 + 42.4*log10(d)Option 2: PL = -6.17 + 58.6*log10(d)where d is in meters and the RF carrier is assumed at 900MHz. The above formulas represent the average path loss. Deviation around this average to account for shadowing should be modelled by adding a random Gaussian variable with zero mean and a standard deviation of 7.5dB. Klaus Doppler, Nokia
