Study on Propagation Loss of GSM Signals in Office Environment with Vegetation

In this paper, quantitative propagation loss measurements of Global System of Mobile Communication (GSM) signals at 951, 952, 954, 955MHz through the office building with vegetation along possible line of sight (LOS) are presented. The measur ement models agree well with some existing propagation loss models. A new propagation loss model due to building with vegetation which is regarded as obstruction to radio propagation at GSM band is presented. The model will be very useful for radio - frequen cy (rf) planning and link planning in building with vegetation environment.
