Explore TV White Space for indoor small cells deployment and practical pathloss measurement

through this paper we present the result and analysis of vigorous Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of two Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Television (TV) channels broadcasted from Doodrdarshan Kendra, Dhanbad, India. The RSSI measurement of those same channels was done on each floor of the Academic Complex building at IIT(ISM) Dhanbad, India, for 24 hours. The data analysis presents the average received power on each floor and signal attenuation due to the influence of walls, doors, windows and other appliances of those two channels at each floor. The opportunities to utilize the Television White Space (TVWS) for indoor small cells deployment for cognitive access and design a Radio Environment Map (REM) has been discussed. Also, the paper presents the comparison graph of theoretical Perez-Vega Zamanillo pathloss model with practical values of propagation path loss of those two channels.
