Empirical StreetLight Path-Loss Model at 868/915 MHz
This paper presents an initial empirical path-loss propagation model for communication links operating at street light/roof-top heights over the ranges of 100 m to 10 km in urban and suburban environments.
The statistical path-loss model presented uses data taken from a significant number of deployed street-light telemetry systems transmitting in the licence exempt/ISM bands at 868 and 915 MHz.
This propagation model provides a valuable tool for network planning where typical cellular propagation models might not be appropriate.
