Abstract
For estimation of signal coverage and localization, path loss is the major component for link budget
of any communication system. Instead of traditional Doppler shift or Doppler spread techniques, the
path loss has been chosen for IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) signals of 2.5 and 5 GHz to measure the signal
coverage and localization in this research. A Wi-Fi system was deployed in a MANET (Mobile Adhoc
NETwork), involving both mobile and stationary nodes. The Adhoc network was also assessed
in a routing environment under AODV and OLSR protocols. The proposal was evaluated using the
OPNET Modeler simulation environment.
