Generalized Path Loss Model for Wireless Channels in Homogenous Propagation Environments

We propose a novel generalized path loss model for wireless channels, where propagation environments are suitable to be described by stochastic structures rather than being deterministically characterized. The model is combined with two dominant terms: a logarithmic function and a fractional power function of propagation distance. We validate the model by the experimental data under typical propagation environment. The well accordance between numerical and experimental results implies that the model would be useful for characterization of radio propagation in wireless networks.
