Abstract :
This paper contains measured data and empirical models for 5.85 GHz radio propagation path loss in and around residential areas. Three homes and two stands of trees were studied for outdoor path loss, tree loss, and house penetration loss in a narrowband measurement campaign that included 270 local area path loss measurements and over 276,000 instantaneous power measurements. The data will aid the development of futuristic outdoor-to-indoor wireless unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (NII) systems in the US and HIPERLAN systems in Europe for home Internet access, telecommunications, and wireless local loops.
