• There are 2 approaches for formulating a path loss model.
• Analytical Approach – Modelled using mathematical Equations and
Assumptions
• Empirical Approach – Modelled by physical measurements and fitting a
curve by considering all know and unknown parameters.
• It is equally important to validate the model in various environments
with required frequency of transmission.
• The path loss models also enable us to predict / calculate the
important transmission parameter such as SNR, Noise Floor, and
capacity in spread spectrums.
• Pure analytical approach path loss models are inaccurate because of
Many immature assumptions made to reduce the derivation
complexity.
• This actually necessitates the modelling of a Path Loss model
considering the practical scenarios in to account.
• Eliminating the drawbacks of Previous models a realistic path loss models
can be developed in 2 ways
•Log distance Path Loss Model.
•Log Normal Shadowing Path loss model.
When we consider the path loss models formulated so far, it is clearly noted that the Received Signal power
decreases Logarithmically over distance.

• From this model it can be concluded that the path loss
exponent depends on the specific environment.
• It is also important to choose a reference value do i.e 1km
(for Out door) and 1m to 100m (for Indoor)

• The log distance model did not consider the surrounding environment clutter
• Empirical methods have shown that this environment clutter be vastly
different at two different locations having the same T- R Separation.
• The log normal distribution describes the random shadowing effects which
occurs over a large number of measurement locations which have same T-R
Separation, but have different levels of clutter on the propagation path.
• This phenomenon is referred to as Log Normal Shadowing.
• Log Normal Shadowing model proposes that at any value of d, the path loss
PL(d) is RANDOM and Distributed LOG NORMALLY about mean distance
dependent

In general, The close In reference distance, Path Loss Exponent , and Standard Deviation are fed to the
computer simulation to calculate the Received power at different locations
In Practice, The values of Path Loss Exponent and Standard Deviation are computed from measured data by
using linear regression. Doing so will reduce the error between the Measured and Estimated Path
Loss.
As per the log Normal Shadowing, the Path Loss is a Random variable thus it can Either be Estimated or
Predicted. Thus the Received Power is expressed in terms of Q Function and Error Function.

The Probability that the received signal level will exceed a certain value 𝛾 can be calculated from the
cumulative density function as
Similarly, the probability that the received signal level will be below 𝛾 is given by
