Pathloss is a decrease in the power level that caused by path attenuation of radio waves. Pathloss is dependent on several factors, one of them is the carrier frequency used. At a distance of 0.41 km and a carrier frequency of 1920 MHz, the resulting loss is 127.41 dB. At the same distance with a carrier frequency of 2110 MHz, the resulting loss of 128.51 dB. So it can be concluded that the higher the carrier frequency used will result on the greater the loss. To support the demand of the downlink traffic, it would be better if the carrier frequency used in the downlink carrier frequency is lower than on the uplink. © 2015 American Scientific Publishers.
