Abstract
This work proposes an empirical propagation model to obtain the path loss and therefore determine the average received power of a signal for a specific outdoor urban scenario with UAVs. The proposed 3D propagation model for terrestrial cellular networks generalizes the LUI model and is valid in the frequency ranges of GSM, UMTS and LTE technologies. We report experimental work in 3D space, considering the height, the antennas base station tilt, sectorziation, angle and distances profile The experimental work included in this study is in good agreement with the proposed theoretical model, corroborating the idea that this model is a good contribution for cellular planning tools.
