An investigation of vegetation effect on the performance of IEEE 802.11n technology at 5.18 GHz.

In this paper, the performance of IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi technology at 5.18 GHz frequency in one of the rural areas in Malaysia, which is typically covered by dense tropical foliage, is evaluated and analyzed. To our best knowledge, studies on the performance of the IEEE 802.11n technology in foliag...
