Abstract

This paper deals with the modeling of radiochannel propagation characteristics of wireless sensor networks in a hybrid indoor/outdoor environment. In order to perform radioplanning calculations, in house empirical models as well as full 3D raytracing algorithms have been implemented. The results aid in optimal layout of the hybrid network configuration.
