Indoor/Outdoor Propagation Modeling on Georgia Tech Campus James Armstrong - gtg604k@mail.gatech.edu Practicality Modeling the indoor and outdoor propagation characteristics of a wireless signal is very practical, mainly because the loss of the signal will be significantly smaller. The loss associated with most cellular signals can be attributed to the fact that modeling of the location of the antennas was rather poor, since most were modeled for the use of outdoor communication. However, modeling with indoor communication in mind allows for a much stronger signal, and results in less calls being dropped. The fact that fewer calls are dropped is not only beneficial for the user, for business, which won’t lose as much revenue due to dropped calls [1]. Cell phones aren’t the only market that could operate with this propagation model. Virtually any form of technology which uses wireless communication will be able to use these propagation models [1]. |
