Abstract :
In this paper, we demonstrated that hallway propagation is driven by multiple wall reflections leading to high received field in both LoS case and non-LoS case at hallway junctions due to multiple corner diffraction. The result was verified by T-shaped hallway measurements. Based on the simulation results, it was shown that a repeater system with 30 dB total gain can enhance propagation around hallway corners remarkably.
