Abstract:
The increasing use of indoor wireless systems in office buildings, exhibition halls, factories,. . . and the concern about human exposure to radio-frequency sources, gives rise to a need for an indoor coverage and exposure prediction tool that can be used for different building types, with a sufficient accuracy.
In this talk, an accurate multi-purpose network planner will be presented. It is not only able to predict coverage and electric-field strength distributions on a building floor, but also to automatically design a network, based on user-defined throughput requirements for the different rooms. Moreover, the tool is able to make the designed network meet a certain exposure limit, so that the resulting field strengths on the building floor do not exceed a user-defined limit, e.g. 3 V/m. This tool can be of great use for indoor network planners, both before and after the installation phase.
