Indoor Channel Measurement and Prediction for 802.11n System

Abstract

Significant improvements in the quality and reliability of indoor WLAN communications are claimed for devices with MIMO technology applying 802.11n standards, that allow users to achieve a theoretical data rate up to 300-600 Mbps on a single transmission. This paper presents an analysis of a commercial 802.11n MIMO 2×3 dual band (2.4 and 5 GHz) system focusing on the operational throughput performance over an indoor environment for Line of Sight (LOS) and Non Line of Sight (NLOS) scenarios. Efforts on combined field strength distribution, throughput, propagation-channel environments, of this system will be elucidated. The work is focusing on the operational performance of the physical measurements and results compared with simulation model over an indoor environment.

Local Average Signal Strength Estimation for Indoor Multipath Propagation

“…The simulation was conducted using the ray-tracing software Wireless Insite R , which has been extensively validated, especially over the UHF band [27] and over 802.11ac frequencies [28], [29]. The operating frequency used in these simulations was 2.45 GHz and the distance between points of interest (yellow points) was 10λ as this has been reported to give the optimum representative data [18].…”

Indoor positioning technology based on map information perception

“…The empirical value is used as the initial value of these two conditional thresholds [13–15]. To improve the accuracy of the step detection, this paper proposes a new threshold correction function.…”
