Abstract
In this paper, a comparison on performance of indoor radio propagation models for 5G wireless networks is presented. The 5G wireless networks will be marked with movement of large volume of data and support for newer applications that require much high bandwidth (IoT, Ultra-Reliable and low latency Communications, Industrial Automations, Robotics, Drones and Virtual Reality to mention just few). There is going to be serious challenge in meeting the RF signal coverage for indoor environments. Although there is no single RF propagation model that is suitable for all indoor environments, a number of popular indoor propagation models were compared using Mininet-Wifi Simulator at 2.4 GHz. ITU-T model is recommended because of its superior performance over the other three propagation models. The channel characteristics was analyzed based on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI).
