Path loss models for suburban scenario at 2.3GHz, 2.6GHz and 3.5GHz

The paper studies the path loss models of the wideband channels at 2.3 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz which are released by ITU-R(International Telecommunication Union-Radio communications) for the new generation radio network IMT-Advanced in a typical outdoor suburban environment of Shanghai, China. A channel measurement system for these frequency bands was developed; based on the measurement data, empirical path loss models at 2.3 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz were obtained for IMT-advanced systems.
