Modeling propagation in urban areas is fundamental for microcellular network design. The main difficulty in developing deterministic models is that propagation areas are both large in size and complex in shape. In this study, we focus on the power transmission characteristics of the wave propagation process and we divide the process into basic elements according to the geometrical characteristics of built up areas and the power transmission mechanisms of the different structures. As a starting point, propagation modeling of the street canyons is investigated. Propagation in a LOS street as well as propagation through a street intercrossing is illustrated.
