Review and Modeling of Vegetation Propagation Model for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Omnet

In simulation environments, prediction of path losses, maximum communication coverage for each node and received signal strength are calculated by using propagation model. However, most of the simulation tools only offer simple propagation model that neglected obstacles in the propagation environmen...

Description
Summary:In simulation environments, prediction of path losses, maximum communication coverage for each node and received signal strength are calculated by using propagation model. However, most of the simulation tools only offer simple propagation model that neglected obstacles in the propagation environment. This paper reviews a variety of more realistic propagation models for Wireless Sensor Networks and discusses the modeling of vegetation propagation model in OMNeT++ simulation platform. Result shows that propagation model used gives significant impact toward network performances.
