Coverage vs capacity planning for indoor

Coverage-Limited Design

In coverage-limited indoor environments, the primary goal is ensuring minimum signal strength throughout the building. The design target is typically negative eighty-five dBm RSRP for LTE or negative ninety-five dBm for basic 5G NR coverage. Antenna spacing is determined by the maximum allowable path loss between antenna and the farthest user within its coverage zone. In open office environments, a single indoor antenna at typical transmit power covers a radius of fifteen to twenty-five meters. Corridors and atriums may allow greater range due to waveguide effects, while rooms with heavy…
