The container terminals and carriers are regarded as a challenging wireless communication enviroment, caused by the metalic walls of container and the corners with the resulting multipath and shadow effect. Accurate propagation modeling of it is helpful for node deployment and channel estimation. However, existing researches mostly focus on obstacles on the macro-scale, and rarely analyze the small-scale propagation characteristics, such as the propagation characteristics along the gaps between containers. Thus there is also a lack of engineering practical path loss model. In this paper, we first study the propagation environment of the stacked containers. Then we propose a path loss model for gaps between containers based on geometric analysis. The proposed path loss model matches well with ground truth value.
