A 3-D indoor analysis of path loss modeling using kriging techniques

This study proposes a novel measurement-based method to predict and model three-dimensional (3-D) path loss in indoor scenarios, which first regresses 28 GHz measurements via median path loss modeling and then includes ordinary Kriging to interpolate shadowing. The performance of this method is evaluated by investigating the spatial structure that follows shadowing through the semivariogram, covariance function, and correlogram as variography tools. It is shown that semivariogram outperforms the other statistics to describe shadowing spatial continuity in path loss modeling in terms of the mean absolute error.
