Abstract :
This paper investigates the different empirical propagation models for the next mobile generation known as the Long Term Evolution - Advanced (LTE-A) in the 2GHz band.. The effects of the propagation models are analyzed in urban, suburban and rural environments by using Monte-Carlo statistical methodology. The Joint Task Group 5-6 (JTG5-6) propagation model is discussed in the paper along with the free Space, Extended Hata and the ITU-R P.1546-4. The results show that the Extended Hata model is feasible for LTE-A system to compute the path loss when deployed in different environments.
