Abstract

To improve the performance of wireless communications in indoor environment, it is important to optimize the signal quality by reducing the error rate between the received signal strength based on experimental data and estimating data. Due to the complexity of modern building layouts and construction materials, estimating received signal strength values based on these structural elements is challenging. The aim of this paper is to analyze received signal strength of the specific area by using the path loss exponent model of ray tracing techniques. In indoor environments, modeling radio wave propagation involves estimating the received signal strength at various points based on the layout and geometry of the space. This study involved three placement of 1.8 GHz AAU5940 Wall Mounted transmitters at height with 11.12 m and at different distances with 44.81 m, 95.4 m, and 108.2 m of specific receiver building. The Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) readings are typically recorded to analyze and understand the ray tracing technique characteristics in a wireless communication environment. This paper presents analytical result of some practical experiments that helps to build an optimized signal quality for indoor environment using mathematical modelling with the help of MATLAB software.
