In the recent years, extensive amount of research have been done by researchers to solve and upgrade various design and application issues in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). WSN is a network of devices that has the ability to communicate through wireless links and can exchange useful information gathered during monitoring. The monitored data is forwarded through multiple nodes, and reaches the gateway node, through which it is further forwarded to the main base station. The features of WSNs, such as small size, low cost, wireless networking and smart deployment in a physical areas, makes it helpful for a variety of applications, for example, battlefield surveillance, weather and environmental monitoring, as well as industry process control systems. In this paper we have focused on comparative analysis of various Radio Propagation models used in WSN. We have used Qualnet 6.1 Simulator for simulating the considered WSN environment.
