Investigation of path loss models for mobile communications in Malaysia

The design of a propagation path loss model requires knowledge of environment characteristics. Quite a number of propagation path loss models for mobile radio communication system were published in the literature. However, choosing the most suitable model for a given geographical and morphographica...

Quite a number of propagation path loss models for mobile radio communication system were published in the literature.

To investigate the path loss models, measurements of path loss were carried out at an international Islamic university Malaysia.
