New Modified Urban Canyon Models for Satellite Signal Propagation Prediction

Abstract: The effects of high-rise buildings on satellite propagation in the vicinity of urban canyons are investigated. A comparison between a conventional canyon model and the two modified canyon models, which take into account the presence of high-rise buildings, is presented for both narrow-band and wideband signal cases. The narrow band is developed using ray tracing (RT) and includes the direct wave, the specular reflection from building walls and ground, and the diffracted waves. In addition, multiple shadow boun… Show more

“…Limited research has been conducted on satellite communication that considers explicitly the dense nature of urban areas [25]- [28]. The authors in [25], [26] present deterministic propagation models for conventional and modified urban canyons in 2D, confined to small-scale satellite networks and not appropriate for statistical analyses involving probabilistic methods. The work in [27] presents a satellite-to-ground pathloss model incorporating environment-specific properties for dense environments.…”

“…In the article [10], the author introduces modified propagation models tailored for urban canyons, which require knowledge of satellite signal properties to estimate path losses within the canyons. Another approach involves the use of the City Geography Markup Language (CityGML) model to represent urban environments, which is subsequently converted into a STereoLithography (STL) surface model [11].…”

“…On the other hand, the minimum link length occurs close to the maximum elevation angle, θ max , which ideally coincides with the ES zenith, and with the minimum value of r S,E . With obstructed line of sight conditions, the best and worst-case elevation angle for a particular ES location can be determined by several methods, including geometrical-based approximations using data of the obstacles height and position as in [28]. Another approach based on digital hemispherical photographs has been utilized by [29] and more recently, by [30] and [31], among others, to extract the elevation angle conditions of a particular location.…”
