Wireless Sensor Networks are an emerging technology which has been recently adopted in many applications. Due to its wireless nature, the analysis of the radio propagation models plays an important role for performance evaluation in both theoretical and practical aspects. In this regards, path loss exponent is one of the most important parameter which has been considered widely in wireless communications analysis. There are several theoretical evaluations of path loss exponent for wireless sensor networks available in the literature. However there is a lack of experimental evaluation of both path loss exponent and the effect of shadowing. In this paper, three environments (free space, in building and industrial), where wireless sensor nodes are widely deployed, have been chosen in order to evaluate the experimental analysis. Path loss and path loss exponent are measured by means of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and based on them, the standard deviation of shadowing effect is also calculated. All the measured parameters are compared with the theoretical analysis available in the literatures. |
