A Computational Model for Path Loss in Wireless Sensor Networks in Orchard Environments

A Computational Model for Path Loss in Wireless Sensor Networks in Orchard Environments

A computational model for radio wave propagation through tree orchards is presented. Trees are modeled as collections of branches, geometrically approximated by cylinders, whose dimensions are determined on the basis of measurements in a cherry orchard. Tree canopies are modeled as dielectric sphere...
