Abstract :
In microcellular environments, the traffic condition on the streets greatly influences the propagation characteristics especially in the microwave bands. It is crucial for the blocking effect of traffic to be introduced to propagation models. This paper presents an experimental study of the effect of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the path loss and delay spread characteristics.
