Note 1:
Breakpoint distance , where is the centre frequency in Hz, m/s is the propagation velocity in free space, and and are the effective antenna heights at the BS and the MS, respectively. The effective antenna heights and are computed as follows: , where and are the actual antenna heights, and is the effective environment height. For UMi, m. For UMa, m with a probability equal to and chosen from a discrete uniform distribution otherwise. With given byBreakpoint distance dBP'=4hBS'hMS'fc/c,

Cd2D, hMS= 0, hMS<13 hMS-13101,5gd2D, 13 ≤hMS≤23
where
gd2D= 0, d2D≤18 54d2D1003exp-d2D150, 18<d2D
Note that hE depends on d2D and hMS and thus needs to be independently determined for every link between BS sites and MSs. A BS site may be a single BS or multiple co-located BSs.
3-D distance is defined as:
d3D=d2D2+hBS-hMS2
Note 2:
fc denotes the center frequency normalized by 1 GHz, all distance and height related values are normalized by 1 m, unless it is stated otherwise.
Note 3:
UMa NLOS pathloss is from TR 36.873 with simplified format and PLUMa-LOS is equal to pathloss of UMa LOS outdoor scenario.
Note 4:
PLUMi-LOS is the pathloss of UMi-Street Canyon LOS outdoor scenario.
Note 5:
Break point distance dBP=2πhBShMSfc/c, where fc is the centre frequency in Hz, c=3×108 m/s is the propagation velocity in free space, and hBS and hMS are the antenna heights at the BS and the MS, respectively.
SEAMCAT specific implementation:
hBS=maxhTx, hRx
hMS=minhTx, hRx
