Statistical Model of Path Loss for Railway 5G Marshalling Yard Scenario

Abstract: The railway mobile communication system is undergoing a smooth transition from the Global System for Mobile Communications-Railway (GSM-R) to the Railway 5G. In this paper, an empirical path loss model based on a large amount of measured data is established to predict the path loss in the Railway 5G marshalling yard scenario. According to the different characteristics of base station directional antennas, the antenna gain is verified. Then we propose the position of the breakpoint in the antenna propagation area, and based on the breakpoint segmentation, a large-scale statistical model for marshalling yards is established.
