Indoor propagation at 17 GHz and 60 GHz-measurements and modelling

This paper describes propagation measurement studies carried out within a building at 17 GHz and 60 GHz to provide detailed measured data on the path loss experienced in a variety of real environments, and to relate the experimental data to a path loss prediction model. Such path loss data can be used by spectrum regulatory authorities to estimate frequency re-use factors and to conduct sharing studies between different systems which are considered for operation at the chosen frequencies. The 17 GHz band, for example, has been allocated to HIPERLANs and the 60 GHz band has been allocated to mobile broadband systems.
