N2 - The arrival of rain cells during rain events is an important factor applied in the deployment of site diversity for mitigating rainfall attenuation in communication systems. In this study, the queue arrival characteristics of rain cells over radio links are explored from ground measurements in Durban (29°52′S, 30°58′E) in South Africa and Butare (2°36′S, 29°44′E) in Rwanda. The results suggest that cumulative arrivals of rain cell queues influence the event duration and equivalent rain cell distance, during typical rain events.
