Evaluation Systems for Intuitive Building Wireless Performance Metrics

With the explosive demand for indoor wireless traffic, indoor wireless communication systems are incorporating complex application scenarios and state-of-the-art wireless technologies. As the building structure is a ceiling that inhibits the performance of indoor wireless systems, future building design should consider wireless communication friendliness as a critical component. This thesis evaluates the impacts of building structures on different performance indicators for indoor wireless systems. The thesis proposes a general building wireless performance (BWP) evaluation scheme to define BWP metrics so that each metric can systematically characterise the influence of architectural design on one performance indicator of the indoor wireless system.
