Path Loss Prediction Model for a Sloped Area in Microcell Based on Scale Model and Real Environment Measurements

The forests in Japan occupy 70% of the country, and there are many mountains and hills in Japan. As cities and residential areas have expanded the living space for people has spread to such hilly or sloped areas. Mobile communication systems are already a vital infrastructure to daily life, so covering these sloped areas is important in terms of service provisioning. It is necessary to predict propagation losses over the sloped areas for radio link design.The 1st IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Wireless and Mobile 2014 (APWiMob 2014), Aug. 28-30, 2014, Grand Inna Kuta Hotel, Bali, Indonesi
