RSSI evaluation for multi-story building

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the reliability of ray tracing simulator in predicting the indoor radio channel response through a well specified environment. The knowledge of the indoor environment geometric and martial properties led to such site specific modeling. We assess the simulated data by comparing the predicted received power with real filed measurements. The good agreement between the predicted received power and the real field measurements suggests that a well designed site specific model can be used reliably to predict the system behavior. This work also proposes wall attenuation factor and floor attenuation factor based on a series of simulation scenarios.
