The influence of topology as well as morphology of complex indoor scenarios in the deployment of wireless sensor networks and
wireless systems applied to home and building automation systems is analyzed. The existence of loss mechanisms such as material
absorption (walls, furniture, etc.) and strong multipath components as well as the increase in the number of wireless sensors
within indoor scenarios increases the relevance in the configuration of the heterogeneous wireless systems. Simulation results by
means of empirical-based models are compared with an in-house 3D ray launching code as well as measurement results from
wireless sensor networks illustrate the strong influence of the indoor scenario in the overall performance. The use of adequate
radioplanning strategies lead to optimal wireless network deployments in terms of capacity, quality of service, and reduced power
consumption. [--]
