In-Building Venues

• Office building
• Apartment building
• Hotels and Conference Centers
• Tunnels
• Subway stations
• Shopping Centers and Malls
• Multiple Building Campus Settings

19
In-Building Questions to be Asked

• What type of coverage is desired?
• A single carrier?
• A selection of carriers?
• All carriers (cellular, PCS, Paging)?
• How many users need to be serviced?
• Over-air or Dedicated Base Station
• Who pays for infrastructure installation?
• Property owner?
• Carriers?
• Neutral host?

20
EQUIPMENT DECISIONS

• What is in-building requirement driver?
• Voice?
• Data?
• What equipment best serves this particular
  customer?
• Repeaters/Bi-Directional Amplifiers?
• Microcells?
• Full sized Base Station?

21
Competing In-Building Design Technologies

• Distributed Antenna in-building design
• Leaky coax tunnel and subway design
• Fiber optic cable in-building design

22
RECOMMENDED APPROACHFor Small to Medium Venues

• Passive coaxial cable and Distributed Antenna
• LNAs will be considered for larger area projects
  or where up-link link imbalance exists
• Fiber Optic System will be used for multiple
  building or campus-like design requirements.
  Large airports are a good example of a proper
  venue for a fiber optic in-building
  infrastructure.

23
All Passive In-Building Justification

• Increase MTBF
• Reduces maintenance
• Reduced complexity
• Reduced parts count
• Reduced cost

24
TECHNICAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DETAILS FOR
IN-BUILDING DESIGN
25
DESIGN CONCEPT

• NSU at lower floor or rooftop
• Separate Tx Rx paths
• Antennas on every second or third floor
• Four antenna per floor
• Each antenna covers 16,384 SQ FT
• 20 dB directional couplers will be used
• 1/2 or 7/8 coaxial cables will be used

26
DESIGN CONCEPTS (CONT)

• Place antennas near all elevator shafts
• Point antennas away from outer walls
• Assume 15 dB attenuation for floors
• Build-out should start at the top of the
  building. Results to be tested using CW test
  equipment after each floor is completed.

DESIGN CONCEPT RULES

• No power handling limitations to carriers
• Assume a balanced network for GSM with mobile at
  30 dBm BTS at 35 dBm/channel
• Using 20 dB directional couplers the output to
  antenna will be at - 4 dBm
• Each antenna will cover as much as
  205,887 SQ FT assuming a 9 dB per octave loss
  factor
