The aim is to assess the performance of Wi-Fi 7 in complex indoor environments and understand the factors influencing its effectiveness.
Controlled empirical assessment conducted in a multi-storey building measuring throughput and received signal strength across various frequencies.
Six experimental scenarios designed to isolate indoor impairments such as wall penetration and line-of-sight obstruction.
Comparison of measured RSS values against theoretical models using mean absolute error as a metric.
2.4 GHz shows greater penetration with lower capacity, whereas 6 GHz achieves maximum throughput under clear line-of-sight but declines sharply with structural interference.
Performance in all frequency bands deteriorates significantly due to multi-wall blockage and line-of-sight loss.
A single propagation model inadequately captures performance variations, suggesting the necessity for adaptive strategies in indoor deployments.
