A demand-based deployment strategy has been recently proposed for e-Um5G in the industrial market. This study measured the transmission loss between buildings at a frequency of 4.7 GHz to initiate small cell deployment in certain areas. A local average apparatus was utilized to remove fading effects, and data were acquired at discrete points one or two meters apart. The transmission losses for buildings 39 m and 95 m from the transmitter were 56.6 dB and 69.1 dB, respectively, excluding free-space loss. The transmission loss was found to be sensitive to building structure and transmitter location, as the loss for a building 39 m away decreased to 49.5 dB when the transmitter was moved closer to the building entrance. The measured results were analyzed in terms of the ITU-R SG3 (International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication Sector, Study Group 3) definition of building entry loss and can be used for frequency sharing and building-level small cell deployment in the e-Um5G frequency band.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
