Abstract

Dimensioning the LTE maritime Mobile Ad-hoc Networks relies essentially on the accuracy of the channel propagation path-loss model. The maritime ITU-R path-loss is computed based on empirical field strength measures that statistically capture, depending on the weather condition, the behavior of the wireless channel over a certain percentage of time. In this paper, we provide an analytical method to linearly adjust the required number of radio resource blocks (RBs) computed in [1] in function of the channel fluctuations. Based on a reference path-loss model, we compute the variation in the number of RBs required to achieve the same target resource outage probability as a function of the path-loss exponent and attenuation factor variations.
