AVALIAÇÃO DA PERDA DE PENETRAÇÃO NA BANDA SUB-6 GHz

This article explores the radio signal penetration loss in the 1-6 GHz range for 5G application in masonry construction, which is a typical scenario in Brazilian households in major cities. Ten frequencies are surveyed, considering three types of obstacles: two masonry walls with different thicknesses and a wooden door. The obtained results are compared with the model presented in ITU-R Recommendation P.2109-1. This information is relevant to guide the efficient implementation of 5G, considering the use of advanced techniques such as directional antennas and MIMO to improve coverage and capacity of sub-6 GHz 5G networks.
