摘要
In this paper, we investigate the suitability of the propagation models ITU-R 526, Okumura Hata, COST Hata models and Standard Propagation Model (SPM) to predict the path loss in open-pit mines. The models are evaluated by comparing the predicted data with measurements obtained in two operational iron-ore mining complexes in Brazil. Additionally, a simple deterministic model, based on the inclusion of an effective antenna height term to the ITU-R 526, is proposed and compared to the other methods. The results show that the proposed model results in root-mean-square error (RMSE) values between 5.5 dB and 9.2 dB, and it is capable of providing a close approximation of the best predictions (i.e. those with lowest RMSE) as provided by the SPM. The proposed model, however, reduces the calibration complexity considerably.
