2.3. Downlink Budget: Data Rate (MBPS) 1

The document provides an example LTE downlink budget for a 1 Mbps data rate assuming a 10 MHz bandwidth. It lists the transmitter power, gains, losses, receiver sensitivity and noise values used to calculate the maximum allowed path loss of 165.5 dB. It then introduces propagation models for converting the maximum path loss to maximum cell range, noting the Okumura-Hata model is commonly used for urban environments.

2.3.

Downlink Budget
The table below shows an example LTE link budget for the downlink from [1], assuming
a 1 Mbps data rate (assuming antenna diversity) and 10 MHz bandwidth. The eNode B
power is assumed to be 46 dBm, a value typical among most manufacturers. Again the
SINR value is taken from link level simulations performed in [1]. A 3 dB interference
margin and a 1 dB control channel overhead are assumed, and the maximum allowed
path loss becomes 165.5 dB.

2.4. Propagation (Path Loss) Models

A propagation model describes the average signal propagation, and it converts the maximum allowed
propagation loss to the maximum cell range. It depends on:

Environment : urban, rural, dense urban, suburban, open, forest, sea

Distance
Frequency
atmospheric conditions

Indoor/outdoor

Common examples include Free space, WalfishIkegami, OkumuraHata,LongleyRice, Lee and Young's
models. The most commonly used model in urban environments is the Okumura-Hata model as
