Abstract

It is shown analytical and measurement results in order to compare five different indoor path loss propagation models in industrial environments: one-slope; dual-slope; partitioned; Cost-231 multi-wall model and average walls. It is concluded that the dual slope propagation model allows a better estimation among the selected models because the propagation loss rate increases abruptly beyond a certain distance from the transmitter in large industrial environments.
