Abstract: In this paper, we discuss several large-scale fading models for different environments. The COST231-Hata model is adapted for air-to-ground modeling. We propose two criteria for air-toground channel modelling based on test data derived from field testing in Beijing. We develop a new propagation model that is more suitable for air-to-ground communication that previous models. We focus on improving this propagation model using the field test data.
