Analysis of WiMAX Radio Measurements and Comparison With Some Models Over Dense Urban Western India at 2.3 GHz

Propagation characteristics in the 2.3-GHz band were studied in a dense urban environment. Experiments at this frequency using WiMAX transmissions were conducted in dense urban western India. Coverage predictions using various models and their comparison with measured data were carried out. Path-loss exponents, mean errors, and standard deviations of all the prediction methods were deduced, and suitable models for the path-loss prediction identified.
