An accurate propagation modeling of radio waves propagation is very important task in cellular network design as it provides the detailed useful knowledge about the wireless channel environment characteristics. Theoretical or empirical RF propagation models provide the required useful information about the signal path loss and fading to evaluate the received signal level, the coverage area, and the outage probability in specific regions. This paper aimed to develop an empirical radio wave propagation model based on observations and sets of measurement data collected from different sites through drive test. These measurements are used to determine the received signal power at some locations to create an empirical radio wave propagation model that is suitable to be appropriate in cellular network accurate design and link budget prediction at the city of Baghdad.
