This paper presents a part of our ground-breaking work on evaluation of buildings in terms
of wireless friendliness at the building-design stage. The main goal is to devise building …

Over 80 percent of wireless traffic already takes place in buildings. Like water, gas, and
electricity, wireless communication is becoming one of the most fundamental utilities of a …

In this paper, we present part of our ground-breaking work that bridges building design and
wireless network deployment. The original contributions lie in: i) defining interference gain …

Evaluating a building's wireless performance during the building design process is a new
paradigm for wireless communications and building design. This article proposes the …

Building structures significantly impact the performance of indoor wireless networks.
Specifically, wall penetration (WP) attenuates the electromagnetic wave, and blocks both the …

Indoor use of wireless systems poses one of the biggest design challenges. It is difficult to
predict the propagation of a radio frequency wave in an indoor environment. To assist in …

The performance of wireless cellular networks in indoor scenarios is in large parts
characterized by the blockage objects such as walls. These objects can be included in the …

An analytical propagation model has previously been developed to predict radio signal
attenuation in urban and suburban environments. Most of the traditional models commonly …

Indoor base stations (BSs) equipped with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna
arrays are commonly deployed in the vicinity of a wall. The wireless friendliness of the wall …

With the growing interest for broadband mobile services in mobile communication networks,
the investigation of radio transmission in and into buildings is getting more important …
