Path loss-log distance relationship from its corresponding RSS-distance relationship. (a) 3D-normalized histogram over 1 dB and 1 log distance m. Lighter yellow colors show higher probabilities. (b) Curve of probability density (PD) over 3D histogram when and . (c) Curves of probability density (PD) over distance from 0.6 to 2.07 m. The path loss PD curves tend to shift toward more power loss as the distance between beacon and scanner increases. (d) Path loss-log distance log-loss scale graph. From this graph, a linear regression for Equation (5) is fitted and parameters for and are derived as 1.9 and 65.10 dB.
