BreakpointPathLoss.ned¶

Name	Type	Description
BreakpointPathLoss	compound module	Path loss model that uses a dual-slope approach with different path loss exponents for different distance ranges. Models signal attenuation with a breakpoint distance that divides propagation into two regions, each with its own path loss characteristics. Particularly useful for environments where propagation behavior changes significantly at a certain distance, such as indoor/outdoor transitions or urban scenarios with varying obstacle densities.
