TY - JOUR TI - Comparison of heuristic UTD coefficients in an outdoor scenario PB - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. PY - 2013 AB - This paper presents a comparison of three heuristic coefficients for the Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD), used to characterize the radiowave scattering in typical urban scenarios. The coefficients were implemented in a propagation model based on 3D ray-tracing techniques for a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) service. In order to evaluate each coefficient we analyze the statistical behavior of the mean and standard deviation of the absolute errors between the estimated values and the measured data of path loss in a large number of receptor points in an outdoor scenario.
