Abstract:
Indoor Radio Coverage is an important part of carrier’s access network but often a limitation
for a telecom operator due to different challenges, like deployment and maintenance costs.
However, it can be reduced by optimizing distributed antenna system. The positions of indoor
coverage antennas are optimized such that to ensure radio coverage of an indoor environment
using minimum number. Coverage effect of antennas is analyzed on that specific floor where
these antennae are installed and at below & above floors.
Earlier thesis work was focused on the optimization of Indoor Radio Coverage analysis by
considering the number & position of Access points (APs) but this work is about, the optimization of distributed antenna system in order to improve indoor radio coverage by considering
some specific antenna locations, like near the staircases & at the edges of corridors at the
middle floor to maximize coverage range.
A comparison is given through simulations and antennas count to show the effect of placing
the antenna at specific locations instead of conventional positions.
