Abstract

This paper presents the statistical analysis of measured propagation data in a femtocell indoor radio environment. Measurements were performed at 1.95 GHz with a 160 MHz channel bandwidth. Time domain sounding technique using PN-sequence with a matched filter was employed. Empirical and theoretical prediction using the Saleh - Valenzuela model and the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method, accelerated via GPU technology, were respectively carried out. So, a comparison between theoretical and experimental simulation is presented.
