Evolution of received power time-variability range with distance at deciduous forests

Forests are scenarios where more and more radio communication systems are going to be installed. Propagation models in such environments are needed, but most of them are focus on the static long-term behavior. This contribution analyses short-term activity in an oak tree forest. The focus is put on the range of measured received powers at each measurement location, and how it varies with distance as receiver moves deeper into the forest. The presence of foliage seems to increase the variability of the received power with time at a fixed location, but it also increase the rhythm at which this range grows with distance between transmitter and receiver. Besides, the variation range grows faster with distance in OLoS conditions than in LoS.
