Abstract

The extension of wireless communication systems and their application in rural environments, require radio propagation models adapted to this situations: presence of vegetation (both trees and shrubs), low transmitted powers, or peer to peer configurations. This work presents the results of a large radio propagation measurement campaign, conducted in different vegetation environment, with low antenna heights, and tuned to frequencies assigned to wireless networks: 2.4, 3.5 and 5.8 GHz bands.
