Comparison of various propagation models in millimeter wave for the indoor office environments.
| Ref | Frequency (GHz) | Environment | Scenario | Models | Result | Observation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [47] | 6.5, 10.5, 15, 19, 28 and 38 | Indoor | NLOS and LOS | Frequency attenuation model CIX, ABG and ABGX | The results indicate that the value of the path loss exponents for the models adopted is lesser compared to the value when the model is in a free space, which is applicable for all the frequencies. The values were within 0.1–1.4. | This new proposed model shows its simplicity, lesser path loss exponent and has a god RMS delay spread and dispersion factor value. |
| [48] | 4.5, 28 and 38 | Indoor office | NLOS and LOS | New improved model | It shows that there is a better result of path loss when modelled with one parameter. | The result should be modelled with more than one parameter to actually know the stability at multiple frequencies. |
| [55] | Varying frequency | Indoor and outdoor | NLOS and LOS | A scheme that adopts mode assignment by reuse | It uses D2D communication with a good values of SINR. | The major advantage of this model is that it helps in a situation when there is problem of path loss attenuation in both indoor and outdoor environment. |
| [57] | Varying frequency | Indoor | LOS and NLOS | Indoor localization approach | There is a major improvement in the environment at different distances when compared to the existing schemes. | It only considers the distance and path loss. Frequency is another major factor that needs to be considered. |
| [64] | Varying frequencies | Indoor short office range | NLOS and LOS | Empirical path loss models | It shows appreciable varying values of path loss at different frequencies which also shows less complexity. | There is a need to test this novel prediction path loss, model in a commercial environment where more obstructions will take place. |
