Abstract

Multiple Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurements are obtained at a sampling location for non-millimeter wave radio signals of multiple non-millimeter wave frequencies originating from an antenna site of a base station. A line-of-sight (LOS) distance, an azimuth angle, and an elevation angle between the antenna site and the sampling location are computed. A corresponding Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) measurement at the sampling location for each non-millimeter wave radio signal of the non-millimeter wave radio signals is calculated based on a radio transmission power and an antenna gain factor associated with each non-millimeter wave radio signal. A corresponding path loss exponent at the sampling location for each non-millimeter wave radio signal is then computed based at least on a difference between a corresponding RSRP measurement and the corresponding EIRP measurement, the LOS distance, and a wavelength of a corresponding non-millimeter wave frequency.
