🏢 Indoor Project Workflow Overview

🧱 Project Foundation

Indoor projects begin with:

• Floor plans (CAD, PDF, or image layouts)

• Walls, doors, and materials with defined attenuation

• Floor/ceiling layers for multi-floor environments

These elements define how signals behave inside the building.

📡 Network Design Setup

Once the layout is ready, you can:

• Place access points (APs) or DAS components

• Configure frequency bands, power, and channels

• Define antenna types and orientations

This stage establishes how coverage is generated within the space.

🧱 Material & Obstruction Modeling

Indoor performance is highly dependent on:

• Wall materials (concrete, drywall, glass, etc.)

• Doors, windows, and partitions

• Custom obstructions (e.g., sloped surfaces, furniture zones)

Each element contributes to signal attenuation and reflection.

🔄 Multi-Floor Interaction

For multi-level buildings:

• Floors and ceilings introduce inter-floor attenuation

• Signals can leak between floors depending on materials

• Proper alignment (Z-axis) ensures accurate modeling

This enables realistic simulation across stacked environments.

🌡️ Analysis & Visualization

Evaluate performance using:

• Heatmaps (RSSI, SNR, throughput, coverage)

• Uplink vs Downlink performance

• Per-AP or combined coverage views

Visualization helps identify dead zones, overlap, and interference.

⚙️ Client & Device Modeling

Indoor results depend on client behavior:

• Device height (phone vs mounted device)

• Transmit power and antenna gain

• MIMO and modulation capabilities

These factors directly impact uplink and perceived performance.

⚖️ Optimization & Iteration

Refine your design by:

• Adjusting AP placement and density

• Modifying power levels and channels

• Tuning materials and attenuation values

Indoor design is iterative — small changes can significantly impact coverage.

🔄 Final Output

The completed design provides:

• Accurate indoor coverage maps

• Performance KPIs

• Deployment-ready insights

💡 Key Idea: Indoor design is driven by layout + materials + device behavior, all interacting to shape real-world wireless performance.
