Study on Propagation Loss of GSM Signals in Office Environment with Vegetation

Michael Olusope Alade

In this paper, quantitative propagation loss measurements of Global System of Mobile Communication (GSM) signals at 951, 952, 954, 955MHz through the office building with vegetation along possible line of sight (LOS) are presented. The measurement models agree well with some existing propagation loss models. A new propagation loss model due to building with vegetation which is regarded as obstruction to radio propagation at GSM band is presented. The model will be very useful for radio-frequency (rf) planning and link planning in building with vegetation environment.
