Parameter
Value
Environment description
Multifloored building: a building of five floors, 2 × 10 apartments on each floor, each of 3 m height, room dimensions: 10 m × 10 m × 3 m
AP location
Each apartment has an AP randomly placed in xy-locations, at a height z = 1.5 m above the apartment floor
AP type
100 VHT APs per building VHT = 11ac in 5 GHz
STA location
Each apartment has a STA randomly placed in xy-locations, at a height z = 1.5 m above the apartment floor
Number of STA and STA type
2 VHT STAs per apartment VHT = 11ac (TBD) in 5 GHz
Channel model and penetration losses
Fading model: TGac channel model D NLOS for all the links Pathloss model:
W = number of walls traversed in x-direction plus number of walls traversed in y-direction “Shadowing: log-normal with 5 dB standard deviation, iid across all links.”
