Abstract

Received Signal Strength (RSS) propagation measurements were made in a vehicular environment (Intra-Car) atUHF range (433/868/915/2400 MHz)utilizing RF equipment and Matlab simulations. Pathloss and Pathloss Exponent values were deduced from the measured RSS from various positions in a Multi Utility Vehicle (MUV). The research work reported in this paper is predominately focuses on characterizing radio link for Wireless Sensor Communications/Networks for vehicular environments at very short-range.
