An Accurate Model to Estimate 5G Propagation Path Loss for the Indoor Environment

Abstract: This paper presents a new large-scale propagation path loss model to design a fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication system for indoor environments. Simulations for the indoor environment, for all polarization at non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and line-of-sight (LOS), which are performed per meter over a distance of 47 m between each of the separated transmitter antenna (TX) and the receiver antenna (RX) positions to compare better the proposed extensive flexible path loss model with previous models. All the simulations are conducted at the Abu-rayhan buildings at the Amirkabir University of Technology. The results demonstrated that the simple presented model with a single parameter denoted ZMS can predict the expansive path loss over distance more accurately. The values of the path loss exponent (PLE) for the LOS scenario are simulated and achieved at 3.63, 1.81, and 3.42 for the V-H, V-V, and V-Omni antenna polarizations, and for NLOS is 6.11, 4.21, and 5.23 at the 28 GHz frequency for all the polarization antenna type V-H, V-V, and V-Omni, appropriately.
