Abstract
The paper presents path loss model for a WSN in an open space on the basis of measurements. The measurements were performed in different weather conditions i.e. temperature and humidity in agricultural area. Theoretical path loss models are always flawed because of their exponential relationship. This causes an increase in error during the localization process. Thus, the determination of the path loss exponent constant based on measurement results become so important. The study focused on designation of the path loss model for different weather conditions. The influence of the temperature and the humidity on the RSSI distribution was analysed.
