Urban, COST 231

Calculate urban propagation using the COST 231 - extended Walfisch-Ikegami model.

Motivation for the COST 231 Walfisch-Ikegami Model

This method uses empirical modeling with short computation times for the prediction of the field strength in large urban scenarios. It takes buildings into account, but more in a statistical than a deterministic way. The method is well suited when the dominant propagation takes place over rooftops, which tends to be a valid assumption when the transmitter height is above the median rooftop level.

This example contains two projects that use the COST 231 - extended Walfisch-Ikegami model:
  1. Urban propagation in the city of Munich, Germany.
  2. Urban propagation in the city of Nuremberg, Germany.
