Abstract :
Radio propagation within forests has been typically studied in terms of long-term (or mean) behavior. However, short-term time variations could limit the use of radio systems in such environments. This contribution is focused in the use of Weibull distribution to model short-term variations in radio channels within deciduous tree forests. We also analyze the effect of the distance between transmitter and receiver, providing a model to predict such random effects in received power.
