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.
