It is presented that considering human bodies residing in a building is important for simulating indoor propagation. First, a simulation model of inhabited buildings was suggested. Next, electric field distribution obtained by numerical analysis and measurements were compared, so as to determine the reliability of the simulation results. Finally, the effects by the presence of people were examined by comparisons of the results obtained by using inhabited and uninhabited buildings. Simulation

... a corresponded very well with experimental data. The simulation results became remarkably realistic by taking into account people's distribution. Indeed, we conclude that considering residents can better describe a realistic propagation inside buildings.
