Abstract :
This work presents a UTD-based path loss model for cellular mobile communications system in an urban environment. The model considers multiple building diffraction occurring in cellular environments outside the high-rise urban core. Using a UTD wedge diffraction model, the roofs of the successive building blocks are simulated by finitely conducting wedges so that material properties of the buildings are included.
