TL;DR: A statistical propagation model is proposed for predicting the air-to-ground path loss between a low altitude platform and a terrestrial terminal based on the urban environment properties, and is dependent on the elevation angle between the terminal and the platform.

Abstract: The reliable prediction of coverage footprint resulting from an airborne wireless radio base station, is at utmost importance, when it comes to the new emerging applications of air-to-ground wireless services. These applications include the rapid recovery of damaged terrestrial wireless infrastructure due to a natural disaster, as well as the fulfillment of sudden wireless traffic overload in certain spots due to massive movement of crowds. In this paper, we propose a statistical propagation model for predicting the air-to-ground path loss between a low altitude platform and a terrestrial terminal. The prediction is based on the urban environment properties, and is dependent on the elevation angle between the terminal and the platform. The model shows that air-to-ground path loss is following two main propagation groups, characterized by two different path loss profiles. In this paper we illustrate the methodology of which the model was deduced, as well as we present the different path loss profiles including the occurrence probability of each.

Optimal LAP Altitude for Maximum Coverage
TL;DR: An analytical approach to optimizing the altitude of LAPs to provide maximum radio coverage on the ground shows that the optimal altitude is a function of the maximum allowed pathloss and of the statistical parameters of the urban environment, as defined by the International Telecommunication Union.

TL;DR: New statistical models for air-to-ground channels in an urban environment are provided and issues such as path loss and shadowing are evaluated as a function of the elevation angle to the airborne platform, rather than the more usual separation distance used for terrestrial mobile communications.
