Abstract
Within studies focused on channel modeling for 5G priority bands and indoor environments, this work aims at several large-scale channel modeling and statistical analysis regarding electromagnetic waves’ behavior within corridors to better understand the channels’ behavior. We studied five corridors with a difference in morphologies and dielectric materials. Choosing the large-scale path loss models, close-in free space reference, and floating intercept due to their high usability in the literature. The PLE, FSPL alpha, and beta parameters were determined using the minimum mean square error. We also considered the standard deviation point-to-point and standard deviation representing the random variable on the measured data for the statistical approach.
