Abstract

This paper presents an experimental analysis of five wireless propagation models with mobile computing applications that were realized in Colima, Mexico, a typical urban setting located in a highly seismic area, where mean building height averages less than 6 meters. The analysis compares signal behaviour measurements between two computers connected in ad-hoc mode in the following propagation scenarios: free space model, IEEE 802.11, indoor, pedestrian and vehicular. Finally, the measurements are compared with the analytical results of wireless propagation models developed in OPNET.
