The link budget parameters that may differ depending on use in either densely populated urban areas or rural areas are area coverage rate, shadow fading margin, and penetration loss. The area coverage rate is the percentage of area within a cell that can receive a signal above a certain threshold. In densely populated urban areas, the area coverage rate may be lower than in rural areas due to more interference and obstacles 13. The shadow fading margin is an additional margin added to the link budget to account for the variation of signal strength due to obstacles in the propagation path. In densely populated urban areas, there may be more buildings and structures that cause shadow fading than in rural areas, so a larger shadow fading margin may be needed 14. The penetration loss is the loss of signal strength when it passes through walls or windows into buildings. In densely populated urban areas, there may be more indoor users than in rural areas, so a larger penetration loss may be considered 15. The antenna gain is not a parameter that depends on use in either densely populated urban areas or rural areas. It is a parameter that depends on the antenna design and configuration, which are usually fixed for a given system 16.
