Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD), Slope Diffraction (S-UTD) and Slope UTD with Convex Hull (S-UTD-CH) models are compared for computation time and propagation path loss. Moreover in this study, effects of transmitter height to relative path loss at the receiver are analyzed. S-UTD-CH model is optimum model with respect to computation time and relative path loss.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessComputation theoryBroadcasting systemsComputation timeCoverage estimationsMultiple diffractionOptimum modelPropagation pathsPropagation prediction modelsUniform theory of diffractionDiffractionComputation theoryBroadcasting systemsComputation timeCoverage estimationsMultiple diffractionOptimum modelPropagation pathsPropagation prediction modelsUniform theory of diffractionDiffractionApplication of S-UTD-CH model into multiple diffraction scenarios at 900MHzConference Object7147182-s2.0-84911164406N/A
