Shadowing

Local obstacles cause random shadow attenuation

Model:

Normal distribution of the received power PLog in logarithmic units (such as dB or neper),

 

 

Probability Density:

where

s is the 'logarithmic standard deviation' in natural units.

PLog = ln [local-mean power / area-mean power ]

 

 

The standard deviation in dB is found from s = 4.34 s
