(Partial) typical values of path loss exponent under different environments [12].

Mobile radio environment	Path loss exponent,
Free space	2
Flat rural area	3
Typical urban area	2.7–3.5
Building visual distance conditions	1.6–1.8
Building barrier conditions	4–6
Typical mobile radio environment	3.7–4
