868 MHz path loss model for an industrial container terminal
|
Abstract | In the shipping industry, wireless communication systems are desired for enabling digitalization and tracking advancements throughout the complete shipping process. In this paper, we present an 868 MHz path loss model for outdoor industrial container terminal environments, based on a measurement campaign using a spectrum analyzer-based channel sounder. Due to the container layout, i.e., containers are stacked in rows with gaps in between, the path loss exponent of the one-slope path loss model is very low. The container stack attenuation equals 21 dB, which is much higher than the penetration loss of objects in other industrial environments. |
