   Abstract:
   We present a statistical model for the path loss of ultra-wideband channels in indoor environments. In contrast to previous measurements, the data reported here are for a bandwidth of 6 GHz rather than 1.25 GHz; they encompass commercial buildings in addition to single-family homes (20 of each); and local spatial averaging is included. As before, the center frequency is 5.0 GHz. Separate models are given for commercial and residential environments and-within each category - for line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLS) paths. All four models have the same mathematical structure, differing only in their numerical parameters. The two new models (LOS and NLS) for residences closely match those derived from the previous measurements, thus affirming the stability of our path loss modeling. For greater accuracy, we therefore pool the two data sets in our final models for residences. We find that the path loss statistics for the two categories of buildings are quite similar.
