An advanced model for radio wave propagation in vegetated urban areas is proposed. The new model is based on uniform theory
of diffraction (UTD) and so appropriate for numerical calculation. We have recently proposed a new UTD-based model for multiple
diffractions by buildings and in this paper we have endeavored to extend the new model to involve tree effects. We have supposed
that apart from the high-rise urban core, a city’s buildings are of nearly the same height and spacings and are organized
by street systems into rows. In addition, trees are assumed to be situated adjacent to the buildings. The canopies of trees
are modeled as discrete ensembles of leaves and branches. It is revealed that the new model including tree effects provides
reasonable and convincing predictions.
