In this paper we provide the outcomes of a measurement campaign aimed at characterizing the UMTS femtocell propagation in an indoor scenario. The accuracy of a commonly adopted estimator of the signal-to-noise ratio is discussed, then the minimum measurement interval needed to derive an accurate characterization of the average received power is discussed. Finally we compare the measurement outcomes with those predicted using ray tracing tools and analytical models, showing the achievable accuracy levels

Abstract
In this paper we provide the outcomes of a measurement campaign aimed at characterizing the UMTS femtocell propagation in an indoor scenario. The accuracy of a commonly adopted estimator of the signal-to-noise ratio is discussed, then the minimum measurement interval needed to derive an accurate characterization of the average received power is discussed. Finally we compare the measurement outcomes with those predicted using ray tracing tools and analytical models, showing the achievable accuracy levelsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
