Applicability of 3GPP Indoor Hotspot Models to the Industrial Environments

摘要

In this paper we study the applicability of the 3GPP Indoor Hotspot model (InH from TR38.901 document) to the indoor industrial environments with moving robots. We will show the impact of carrier frequencies on the expected path losses as we move from cm Wave to the mm Wave bands, we will present the upper bounds on the capacity expected at different available carrier frequencies and different 3D distances, and we will also discuss the results in the context of receiver sensitivities of various Internet-of-Things solutions for industrial environments, such as Sigfox, LoRa, BLE or Wi-SUN.
