Indoor wireless femtocell measurements

This paper presents an indoor propagation model analysis and path loss measurements for a wireless third generation (3G) femtocell in indoor environments. An indoor line of sight (LOS) and an office-like obstructed non-LOS scenario are measured by using the femtocell which is connected to Hutchinson 3G's network to enable live signal measurements. The measurement results are compared with conventional indoor wireless models. Two well-known indoor channel models are optimized to increase the accuracy of the path-loss estimation.
