\begin{abstract}
Accurately measuring propagation loss is crucial for Citizens Broadband
Radio Service (CBRS) network planning, deployment, and successful
spectrum sharing among CBRS users. The currently used propagation
models, such as the Irregular Terrain Model (ITM) and Extended Hata
(eHata) in the CBRS network, disregard significant environmental factors
like foliage or clutter data, making the loss prediction unreliable.
Additionally, current experimental studies on CBRS propagation are
limited, with methodologies often relying on expensive measurement
tools. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a CBRS network
propagation framework, which includes a signal measurement system made
of affordable, commercial off-the shelf electronic devices and advanced
empirical data analysis. To validate the framework, an extensive
measurement campaign is conducted in a live CBRS network in Buffalo, NY.
The empirical path loss results have been compared with existing
analytical models, with the alpha-beta (? - ?) model giving the best
path loss prediction. The methodology and framework presented in this
paper can be applied to other network environments, helping researchers
and engineers estimate network performance during the design phase, thus
saving resources.%
