Okumura Hata (OH)
-----------------
This model is used to model open area pathloss for long distance (i.e., > 1 Km). In order to include all the possible frequencies usable by LTE we need to consider several variant of the well knwon Okumura Hata model. In fact, the standard one is designed for frequencies ranging from 150 MHz to 1500 MHz, the COST231 [cost231]_ one for the 1500 MHz up to 2000 MHz and [pl26ghz]_ for the one at 2.6G Hz. Another important aspect is the scenarios considered by the models, in fact the all models are originally designed for urban scenario and then only the standard one and the COST231 are extended to suburban, while only the standard one has been extended to open areas. Therefore, the model cannot cover all scenarios at all frequencies. In the following we detail the models adopted.

Short Range Communications ITU-R P.1411 (I1411)
---------------------------------------
This model is designed for short range outdoor communication in the frequency range 300 MHz to 100 GHz. It is divided in LOS and NLoS models and NLoS is split in roof-tops and canyons. The model implemented considers the LoS propagation for short distances according to a tuneable threshold (``m_itu1411NlosThreshold``). In case on NLoS propagation, the over the roof-top model is taken in consideration for modeling both macro BS and SC. In case on NLoS several parameters scenatio dependent have been included, such as average street width, orientation, etc. The values of such parameters have to be properly setted according to the scenario implemented, the model does not calculate natively their values. In case any values is provided, the standard ones are used, apart for the height of the mobile and BS, which instead their integrity is tested directly in the code (i.e., they have to be greater then zero). In the following we give the expressions of the components of the model.

We note that for SC nodes in case that the distance is greater then 1 km, we still consider the I1411 model since it better models the transmissions with antenna below the roof-top level and moreover due to the fact that OH is specifically designed for macro cells and therefore for antennas above the roof-top level. Finally, we introduced a threshold also or SC transmissions (called ``m_itu1411DistanceThreshold``) for pruning the communications between SCs and UEs too far (the defalut values is fixed to 2 km).

The simulator generates a shadowing value per each active link according to nodes'position the first time the link is used for transmitting. In case of transmissions from outdoor nodes to indoor ones, and viceversa, the standard deviation (:math:`\sigma_\mathrm{IO}`) has to be calculated as the square root of the sum of the quadratic values of the standard deviatio in case of outdoor nodes and the one for the external walls penetration. This is due to the fact that that the components producing the shadowing are independent of ewach other; therefore, the variance of a distribution resulting from the sum of two independent normal ones is the sum of the variances.
