The Hata-SRD variation was developed in CEPT within the Project Team SE24 for studies of Short Range Devices (SRD). The basis for modification was an assumption that although SRD devices are usually operated at low antenna heights (typically person-carried devices, i.e. with antenna height of ca. 1.5 m), but the interference would usually occur at relatively short distances (up to 100 m or so) when direct-Line-Ofof-Sight (LOSLoS) or near-direct-LOS LoS might be assumed. Therefore the Hata-SRD model includes adjusted expression of a certain the parameter b(Hb), which in the standard Hata model would introduce significant extra additional path loss when transmitter antenna height is much less than 30 m. It was found that this extra additional loss is not justified in the considered SRD scenarios of short range & direct-LOS LoS communication/coupling. In the SEAMCAT propagation library, you the user will find it the model under the name “Extend Hata - SRD”
