Assessment of a pico-cellular system using propagation measurements at 1.9 GHz for indoor wireless communications

摘要

Narrow-band propagation measurements were conducted at two floors of a multi-storied building at 1.9 GHz to study the behavior of the Rice factor and local mean power. To evaluate the influence of the Rice factor on a pico-cellular system, the outage probability is calculated for two different cases: (i) Rician fading for the desired and interfering signals with different Rice factors; (ii) desired signal with Rician fading and interfering signals with Rayleigh fading with a different local mean power for each interfering signal. Finally, a pico-cellular structure is determined as an illustration.
