Intra building cell stations placement prediction model for personal communication telephone (PCT) system in 1.9 GHz band

Abstract

This paper presents the appropriate indoor cell stations layout of Personal Communication Telephone (PCT) system in Thailand. This layout is designed for rather big and very big buildings based on frequency reuse technique for each floor by considering vertical and horizontal wave propagation. Cell stations were installed for modeling at the Telecommunication Building, Faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology, Ladkrabang. By virtue of computer technology and employing propagation loss factors in the establishment of the equation, the measured signal levels were then compared with theoretical signal levels. The outcome of the verification was satisfactory. The results will be used as a guideline in designing indoor cell stations layout to improve the quality of performance of the PCT system.
