---|---|
temporal variation | 3 dB for 2.4 GHz band and 1 dB for 5 GHz band |
small scale multipath | 3 dB for 2.4 GHz band and 2.7 dB for 5 GHz band |
antenna orientation | moderate level of LOS about 3 dB, NLOS negligible |
combined, body absorption, temporal variation and small scale multipath | roughly 5 dB in NLOS environment. In a LOS environment can be up to 20 dB |
