What is Indoor Coverage
Indoor/In Building Coverage is Nothing but improving the GSM signals insideBuildings,undergroung tunnels etc.
Signals can be improved using boosters,repeaters,Microcells or Leaky cables
Typically,several,indoor antennas or radiating coaxial cable is used to cover Many floors,cabins,rooms,halls,basements.
WHY THE NEED FOR THE IN BUILDING SOLUTION?
1.More Coverage2.Capacity Utilization3.No more drop calls4.Improved quality of service5.More Services6.Future Technologies
IN-BUILDING SOLUTIONS - CONCEPTS
•An in-building solution may be offered in many different ways.
•There is always a trade-off between quality and cost.
•Further more there are as many tentative solutions as there are designers.
•One has to consider as many aspects as possible but still ensure that the In-Building Solutions, eventually meets either the return of the investment or meet the customer specific requirements or both.
•In most cases the payback time for a standard solution is less than two years. Ordinarily coverage from the macro network via outdoor antennas penetrates into the buildings but needs for many buildings be complemented by dedicated IBS.
•The implementation of dedicated in-building coverage enables new traffic for the mobile operators in areas that previously were “black holes” and offloads the macro system in areas with over lapping in-building and macro network coverage, thereby increasing overall system coverage and capacity

TYPE OF IBS IMPLEMENTATIONS
•High-rise building
•High–Rise Building with Multiple Blocks
•High-rise Building with POI Solution
•Tunnels / Metro Stations by using Repeaters
HIGH-RISE BUILDING
An in-building solution with a macro RBS connected to a passive coaxial distributed antenna system covering a large-size building
HIGH-RISE BUILDING WITH MULTIPLE BLOCKS
An in-building solution with one main-remote RBS covering two different buildings. The radio remote units, RRUs, are connected to the main unit via optical fibers.
SHOPPING MALL OR HIGH-RISE BUILDING WITH POI SOLUTION
An example of a multi-operator coaxial cable solution with dedicated indoor RBSs that are connected to a common distributed antenna system, DAS.
TUNNELS / METRO STATIONS BY USING REPEATERS
In-building coverage using repeaters (with the donor antennas visible on top of each tunnel entrance).
An example of a metro solution with radiating cables in the tunnels.
