Rain Attenuation Predicted Model for 5G Communication in Tropical Regions

Abstract

The signals operating at higher microwave frequency ranges get attenuated in the tropical regions where heavy rainfall occurs. Controlling of Signal fading for establishment of efficient link plays an important role in the heavy rainfall regions. Here rain attenuation predicted model has been designed in sub- 6 GHz and mm Wave bands. This predicted model is applicable to the tropical regions where heave rainfall occurs. Frequency variation technique has been adopted to execute the research work. The estimated rain attenuation depends on International Telecommunication UnionR rain mitigation forecast technique utilizing assessment of rain in the tropical regions of South East Asia.The frequency ranges used here for variation techniques are respectively 3.6 to 4.2 GHz, 4.4 to 4.9 GHz, 27.5 to29.5 GHz, 37 to-40 GHz and 64 to71 GHz. In the previous works [1] it is observed that only lower fade margin has been considered for communication link design .As the fade margin increases, the communication link seems to be more reliable. In this paper the fade margin has been increased and it has been chosen from 12dB to 16dB. This predicted model will yield better result than that of ITU-R model.
