Wireless systems are gaining a relevant role for multiple communication
tasks within commercial aircrafts. In this work, wireless propagation in an indoor
commercial airplane cabin will be analyzed. The impact of indoor elements, such as
passenger seats, luggage compartments and a dual deck structure will be considered,
with the aid of in-house implemented 3D ray launching code. Multipath propagation
plays a relevant role, given by the time domain characteristics obtained by spatially
dependent power delay profiles and delay spread. The use of deterministic techniques
in order to consider the inherent complexity of the airplane cabin can aid in wireless
system planning in order to increase overall system capacity whilst reducing power
consumption.
