Abstract
5G and 6G cellular technologies are going to be an integral part of the daily activities of building occupants. However, 5G and 6G are going to use frequencies up to 100 GHz and beyond, which is far higher than their legacy deployments. As high frequencies make successful radio coverage a lot more challenging, necessary planning and actions need to be based on proper estimations of radio propagation characteristics. Since architects are the designers of buildings, it becomes helpful for their input in design decisions to create conditions of seamless and uninterrupted connectivity. The paper highlights the importance of collaboration between architects and radio frequency (RF) engineers to address the great challenge of in-building wireless coverage at high frequencies. Since architects do not possess insight into complex relationships of RF parameters, this paper formulates simple relationships to help easily estimate the dependency of two important radio propagation characteristics, delay spread and path loss on 5G and 6G frequencies.
