In this paper, we use the shooting and bouncing ray/image (SBR/Image)[1]-[5] method to compute the path loss for different outdoor environments. Three types of antenna arrays such as L shape, Y shape, and Circular shape arrays are used in the base station and their corresponding path loss on several routes in the outdoor environment are calculated[6]-[8]. Moreover, the genetic algorithm (GA) and Dynamic Differential Evolution (DDE) are employed to optimize the excitation voltages and phases for antenna arrays to form proper antenna patterns[9], [10]. The particle swarm optimization algorithm has better optimization result than genetic algorithm in NLOS case. For antenna arrays Y shape has better optimization result in NLOS case.
