From comparison and analysis, the radius from Standford model

is larger than the other two propagation model in dense urban and

urban, the radius from Cost231-Hata is same with the radius from

Cost231-Hata (Huawei) .In suburban, all the three type propagations

are similar. In rural, the radius from Cost231-Hata (Huawei) is

similar with the radius from Standford. Both radius are smaller than

Cost231-Hata.

4 Conclusion

From comparison and analysis, In dense urban or urban, the

radius from Standford A/B/C model is larger than the other two

propagation model. In suburban, all the three type propagations

are similar. In rural, the radius from Cost231-Hata (Huawei) is

similar with the radius from Standford A/B/C, both radius are

smaller than Cost231-Hata.
