Abstract. The main provisions of a stable deterministic model for calculating the attenuation of the average signal power during the propagation of radio waves in the decimeter range along a normal scattering surface are presented. The proposed model is based on the property of the lognormal distribution of variations in the average receiving power relative to the median level of the global power law of radio wave propagation and is designed to improve the accuracy and reliability of predicting the average signal attenuation along the earth's surface. The model can be used for high-precision calculation of radio coverage and detection of inter-cell interference in mobile cellular communication networks, and can also improve the accuracy of calculating radio relay communication lines.
Keywords: propagation of radio waves of the decimeter range, random scattering of radio waves by a scattering surface, predicting the attenuation of the average signal power, log-normal probability distribution, plane of specular reflection, normal scattering surface.
