COST Hata model

The COST Hata model is a radio propagation model that extends the urban Hata model to cover a more elaborated range of frequencies. It is the most often cited of the COST 231 models, also called the Hata Model PCS Extension. This model is the combination of empirical and deterministic models for estimating path loss in an urban area over frequency range of 800 MHz to 2000 MHz.

Applicable to / under conditions
This model is applicable to macro cells in urban areas. To further evaluate Path Loss in suburban or rural (quasi-)open areas, this path loss has to be substituted into Urban to Rural / Urban to Suburban Conversions. (Ray GAO, 09 Sep 2007) ==Coverage==
Coverage
• Frequency: 1500–2000 MHz • Mobile station antenna height: 1–10 m • Base station antenna height: 30–200 m • Link distance: 1–20 km ==Mathematical formulation==
Mathematical formulation
The COST Hata model is formulated as, L_b = 46.3 + 33.9 \log_{10} \frac{f}\text{MHz} - 13.82 \log_{10} \frac{h_B}\text{m} - a(h_R, f) + \left( 44.9 - 6.55 \log_{10} \frac{h_B}\text{m} \right) \log_{10} \frac{d}\text{km} + C_m where, ==Limitations==
Limitations
This model requires that the base station antenna is higher than all adjacent rooftops. ==See also==
