Abstract

This paper presents the verification of indoor propagation channel simulations based on an intelligent ray launching algorithm (IRLA) in the Ka-band of the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum in various indoor environments, including a classroom, an office, and a corridor, by radio channel measurements. Power delay profiles (PDPs), path loss, and root-mean-square (RMS) delay spreads were obtained from both the simulation results and the measurement results. Moreover, parameters of two site-general path loss models, the close-in free space reference distance path loss model and the floating-intercept path loss model, were estimated based on the measured and simulated path loss. The comparison between the simulation results and the measurement results indicates that the IRLA-based simulation can accurately describe the main characteristics of the indoor propagation channel in the Ka-band.
