Abstract :
In this paper, a path loss (PL) model for 802.11n in large conference rooms is proposed, based on PL measurements. The PL can be described accurately by a one-slope model with PL exponents varying from 1.2 to 1.7. The effect of frequency (2.4/5 GHz), configuration (SISO vs MIMO 2 × 2:1), bandwidth (20 vs 40 MHz) and transmit power on the required number of access points, total power consumption (due to radiation) and possible (physical) throughputs is investigated. This is done by link budget calculation, based on the proposed PL model as well as the TGn channel model.
