ABSTRACT
The significant effect of path loss on the reliability of very high frequency (VHF) and ultrahigh frequency (UHF) bands propagation has drawn much attention. Previous works mainly focus on the reliability evaluation for infrastructures and basic equipment,
however, its propagation reliability has not been taken into full consideration. This paper proposes a new method for evaluating
the reliability of the wireless communication based on the analysis of the traditional outdoor wave propagation loss models. In the
reliability evaluation of the radio communication, we firstly consider the transmission frequency, the antenna height, the cell type
and the communication distance. Then, we use a lognormal distribution to fit the random distribution curve of the communication
distance so that the relationship between the path loss value and the reliability can be analysed. We further derive the probability
distribution function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the path loss value from different antenna correction factors, cell type correction factors and terrain correction factors. Finally, we calculate the radio communication reliability
values at different frequencies based on the threshold of the propagation loss value. Compared with the reliability degree only
considering the communication distance threshold, the influence of environmental factors on the reliability of the VHF and the
UHF radio propagation has been analysed
