Abstract

Research projects involving fiber-connected microcell base units, measurements and models of propagation in urban microcells, and radio link performance in urban microcells are summarized. Developments in microcell system issues, such as channel assignments and handoff in microcells and architectures for combining microcells with traditional macrocells, are discussed. Research on both indoor radio propagation and wireless indoor systems is reviewed.<>
