Indoor-to-outdoor channel characterization for modeling and prediction of interference in next generation wireless networks

This paper presents an indoor-to-outdoor signal propagation model based on exhaustive measurements campaign. The conducted measurements considered an indoor transmitter and an outdoor receiver to analyze the interference in future 5G networks with femtocells overlaying macrocells. To propose a practical model, architectural details of the buildings and the exact position of the transmitter, which are not typically known to the network designers are considered random in the proposed model, which resulted in a stochastic non-site-specific model for application in 5G networks.
