Millimeter-wave (30–300 GHz) frequency is a promising candidate for 5G and beyond
wireless networks, but atmospheric elements limit radio links at this frequency band. Rainfall …

This study proposes a new rain attenuation prediction model (RAM) based on the rain cell
concept for tropical locations. The new model addresses the research gap in the …

Rain cell size is an input requirement for rain-induced attenuation studies. It is useful in
estimating the extent of a given radio link path that will traverse the rain medium in a given …

Free Space Optics (FSO) link have capabilities of providing optical communications similar
to fiber optics based communications. However, the operational status of an FSO link is …

South Africa have been derived from a five-year, one-hour integration time series rain gauge
network data. The data have been converted to their equivalent one-minute integration time …

In this study, parameters of statistical models for estimating the rainfall specific attenuation in
Durban, South Africa are derived. The rainfall data in this work are based on 2-year …

The equatorial and tropical regions are usually characterized with high amount of rainfall;
this usually affect transmission links operating at microwave and millimetre wave bands. The …

Over some decades, rain impairment has been considered as the major dominant
impairment in microwave propagation especially at frequencies above 10 GHz …

A model is proposed to estimate the non-uniformity of attenuation along a rainy satellite
path. The growth of rain attenuation is described by a power law model that is derived from …

The wireless sector of telecommunications networks has seen the development of more data-
hungry products and services due to the industry's ongoing growth. The radio network's …
