A Path Loss Simulator for the 3GPP 5G Channel Models

Abstract

This paper presents a web based simulator for large-scale path loss models, according to the 3GPP TR 38.901 report, for 5G network frequencies. In order to implement the simulator was necessary to analyze the model presented in the TR 38.901. The necessary tools were chosen to program this simulator. The parameters necessary for the calculation are specified in the TR 38.901 according to the selected scenario. The simulator allows choosing between the four scenarios contemplated in the 3GPP report, and at the same time, it requests the parameters corresponding to the scenario. As a result, it returns the path loss value, a tabulation and a graph that explain the behavior of the path loss for a range previously specified by the user. The simulator was tested and analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations. This simulator can be used for mobile service provider and for the training and teaching.
