Covers the available options for working with propagation models within the CloudRF API. Once a model has been selected for a frequency, you can tune it with a 10dB fade margin, context (-10 / 0 / 10) and knife edge diffraction option.
Removing diffraction creates a Line of Sight (LOS) result which for 5G towers and LiDAR models may be desirable.
The ITM model is recommended for most cases below 1GHz due to it’s superior diffraction modelling. The cellular models (Hata, COST, Ericsson) are recommended for cellular frequencies and setups (Tower high, UE low) and the SUI model is recommended for SHF.

CloudRF is the API for RF. With global data, GPU acceleration and 10 years of user driven development, we have defined technology-agnostic radio propagation modelling.
