We survey the state-of-the-art in procedural generation of buildings (PGB). We analysed the design choices, capabilities and limitations of 71 PGB approaches. We structured our analysis based on a taxonomy of procedural content generation (PCG) that we adapted to PGB by adding relevant details. Overall, we identified 13 taxonomical aspects which we organised in three groups: 1) Generative Capabilities, 2) Accessibility Aspects and 3) Technological Aspects of the implementation. It is shown that the generation of different parts of buildings is easiest to accomplish with different PGB techniques. While some approaches built on other ones or even integrate two or more of them to arrive at solutions with a greater effective generative scope, all of them still exhibit rather basic limitations. For instance, the choice of room geometries might be limited to rectangular rooms, they might require numerous manual creation steps, or they might yield potentially invalid output. In addition, only few approaches implement fitting interiors and exteriors which can be used as complete, traversable buildings in virtual environments. Hence, the combination and therefore integration of different approaches for different parts of buildings is a major concern of procedural building generators, rendering their compatibility a characteristic of central importance.

“…As such, providing high data rates to indoor users could be challenging by solely deploying outdoor BSs since the mmwave signals attenuate greatly depending on the material type and the thickness of the wall [3]. To overcome this issue, deploying local base stations, such as femto BSs inside the building could be an effective solution for delivering highquality broadband service to indoor users.…”

“…In other words, building walls could play a role as shielding mutual interference between the indoor femto BS and outdoor BS. Since thickness and the type of material used in the building changes wall attenuation in order of 5 dB to 20 dB or more and signal attenuation through doors or windows is around 3 dB [3]. The approach of using buildings as a shielding would help to re-use the same frequencies in the area where small cells are deployed close to each other.…”

“…In the literature, a significant number of studies concentrated on the outdoor-to-indoor propagation to increase outdoor coverage to serve indoor users, whereas few research focused on the indoor-to-outdoor case. In [3], a sample floor plan model was built to enable the investigation of interference effect between macro and indoor femto BS. The authors in [5] examined the mutual interference between macro and femto BS, i.e., impacts of the interference caused by femtocell on the users served by macro cell, and the interference caused by macro cell on the users served by femtocell.…”

“…The authors in [5] examined the mutual interference between macro and femto BS, i.e., impacts of the interference caused by femtocell on the users served by macro cell, and the interference caused by macro cell on the users served by femtocell. Although the works in [3], [5] focused on the interference management between indoor and outdoor, both of them are modelled femto and macrocell for particularly 4G networks. The study conducted in [6] analyzed the indoor coverage by deploying a single building scenario with an outdoor deployed BS utilizing high frequencies, e.g., 10, 30, and 60 GHz.…”

Milimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication, which has already been a part of the fifth generation of mobile communication networks (5G), would result in ultra dense small cell deployments due to its limited coverage characteristics. In such an environment, outdoor base stations (BS) will get closer to the buildings, in which users are covered and served by indoor small cells that in turn degrades the user Quality of Experience (QoE) owing to the increased interference caused by the outdoor BSs. In this paper, indoor coverage analysis is conducted by considering a scenario, which includes a multistorey building and two identical indoor femtocell and outdoor BS operating at 28 GHz. During the simulations, impacts of the outdoor BS's transmit power and distance to the building on the indoor coverage are investigated. In addition, various material types, namely one layer brick, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) 28 GHz concrete, ITU 28 GHz glass, and ITU 28 GHz wood, for the building walls are tested. Results reveal that dielectric properties of the materials are the key factors in determining the severity of the interference caused by the outdoor BS, paving the way for including the effects of material type in network designing and smart city planning.

Densely deployment of the small cells in 5G networks will bring high‐quality service to the end users as well as will solve the small footprint coverage problem of millimeter‐waves. The increase in the number of small cells will require self‐organized systems to enable the seamless transaction between heterogeneous network environment. Therefore, a survey‐style study on self‐organized seamless coverage in 5G, covering millimeter‐wave features and its indoor and outdoor coverage along with some machine learning techniques are presented in this article.
