Extensive measurements on several floors in four buildings are used as validation cases and show an excellent agreement with the predictions. As the prediction is based on the free-space loss model for every environment, it is generally applicable, while other propagation models are often too dependent on the environment upon which it is based. The applicability of the algorithm to a wireless testbed network in a living lab setting with WLAN 802.11b/g nodes is investigated by a site survey. The results can be extremely useful for the rollout of indoor wireless networks.
