Abstract
The accuracy of wave propagation prediction is very important in telecommunication network planning. The parabolic equation model has an advantage in computation efficiency and accuracy for wave propagation prediction. The recursive convolution nonlocal boundary condition has an advantage in improving the computational efficiency. In this paper, the recursive convolution nonlocal boundary conditions are extended to deal with the issue of horizontal diffraction loss in multiple obstacles. The validation is performed with experiments and the results show a good agreement.
