Abstract

Data from the received signal-level in the personal handy-phone system commercial communication service are used to evaluate a method for expressing mobile propagation loss characteristics. The standard deviation of the difference between the measured signal level and the signal level given by empirical equations is calculated on the basis of a macrocell mode (loss versus direct distance from base station) and a street microcell mode (classified as base-station road and crossed road). The results show that the expression of street microcell mode is better than that of the macrocell mode.
