A3.1.5 Conclusions


The indoor DL coverage at a range of frequencies above 6 GHz (up to 60 GHz) has been analysed in the context of a single-building scenario with an outdoor deployed base station and low load conditions. The specific frequencies used in the simulations (10 GHz, 30 GHz, and 60 GHz) are arbitrarily selected and intended as examples to illustrate the general trends of how coverage varies across the frequency range. Table A3–2 summarizes the presented results for the different building types, indoor models, and operating frequencies.6 In the cases where 1 BS was not enough to reach 100 Mbps, rough estimates of how many BSs would at least have been needed to reach 10 Mbps are given.

A main observation, also subject to the assumptions made on propagation, antenna pattern and bandwidth size, is that outdoor-to-indoor coverage with DL user throughput higher than 10 Mbps, and in certain cases higher than 100 Mbps, is possible at 10 GHz and above. The case with carrier frequencies up to 30 GHz is more challenging but still manageable, whereas providing outdoor to indoor coverage at 60 GHz may be quite difficult for some building types. It has also been seen that the use of high gain antennas is crucial at high frequencies (30 GHz and above).

In addition, it has been shown that the required site count per building, in other words the deployment density, depends on the type of the building (i.e. exterior wall material, interior layout and wall material, building size, etc.).
