Abstract
Building penetration loss is one of the main points of interest in the outdoor-to-indoor propagation. This chapter describes measurements of the building penetration loss for mobile signals within 850 and 1900 MHz bands. Four buildings are studied aiming to provide first-order statistics of radio coverage inside buildings of signals transmitting from outdoor base stations. The effects of operating frequency, signal bandwidth, receive antenna height, and the presence of line of sight are investigated and numerically presented.
