In this paper, a statistical radio propagation prediction model of received power using the geographic information system is proposed, by making use of a combination and empirical methods. The validation of the proposed prediction model has been made with the measured data for various radio environment.
Note that the use of the prediction model paves the way for estimating received signal level as a function of distance. Since the proposed prediction model included the effect of ground reflected waves and diffracted waves, the variability of signal strength caused by surrounding man-made structures can be predicted with accuracy.
