Radio propagation prediction model for maritime mobile communication

Abstract

With the rapid development of coastal fisheries and marine tourism, especially fishermen in great demand for maritime mobile communication, a proper radio propagation prediction model on maritime mobile communication is indispensable. This paper presents Longley-Rice model to predict the loss of radio propagation for maritime mobile communication. Comparing with Okumura-Hata model and combing numerical simulation with matlab and analysis, predict the influence of carrier frequency and height of transmitter to transmitter loss. (5 pages)
