In this paper, DRM is applied for simulating coverage prediction in Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI). The proposed method is developed by simulating high frequency propagation from RRI Pro 3 transmitter with VOACAP online software. The simulation is undertaken in some different conditions. The variation of antenna type and transmitter power are observed in the simulation. The time of propagation also discussed to predict the coverage. The result shows that the variation of parameter influences the coverage result of DRM propagation in HF band. Changing the antenna type and time of propagation will make impact in the range of coverage while adding power transmitter gives insignificantly effect to the range of coverage.

Increasing numbers of the mobile communication users in urban city; especially indoor users cause the radio coverage prediction of outdoor to indoor becoming important. Obstacles are the main problems for outdoor to indoor propagation that weaken signal level and worsen information detection. This paper proposes a combination of COST231 Walfisch-Ikegami and COST231 Multiwall to predict the received signal. By comparing the predicted and the measured signal level in the Antara building, Medan city for both 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz channels, the proposed model outperforms the compared method in predicting signal level. The proposed model is able to suppress the prediction deviation 11.035 dB lower than the compared method for Sector A and 5.98 dB lower at Sector B.

An analysis of the world experience in the using of broadcasting networks has shown, that currently the most common digital terrestrial broadcasting technology in Europe is DAB / DAB +. The paper considers the results of research on the construction of a single-frequency synchronous network using DAB+ technology for coverage of highways on the example of the Kyiv - Odessa road. The influence of the network amplification effect is considered and quantitative estimates of the total gain in the statistical addition of signals from two transmitters are obtained. For the practical evaluation of the statistical network gain, control points are selected on the section of the route, where the predicted level of field strength from one transmitter is lower than the required value. Using the k-LNM method, it is determined that the resulting predicted value of the field strength exceeds the minimum required, and the corresponding probability of reception in all cases is greater than 99%. The radio coverage parameters of the reception were modeled, according to Recommendation ITU-R P.1812. A comparison of analog and digital radio coverage for the Kyiv-Odessa route showed that coverage in digital broadcasting mode for a 99% probability of reception is better than for analog broadcasting without installing additional transmitters or increasing the power used in analog broadcasting planning.
