Abstract

Understanding of line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight (LOS/NLOS) visibility conditions is important for radio wave propagation modeling when selecting empirical path loss model. For Monte Carlo statistical simulations a random generator of visibility states can be designed according to a given spatial probability density. In the current paper, a statistical LOS state model is derived based on ITU-R and 3GPP 3D LOS probability models suitable for 5G channel simulations. The generic exponential LOS probability model is improved by dividing the area into LOS and NLOS zones depending on the building density. The accuracy of LOS probability model has been tested against visibility predictions obtained from the digital building data over Manhattan city area.
