Abstract: Multi floor staircase provides a crucial vertical route during emergency events in a high rise structure. Wireless communication along the staircase is important for public safety personnel to allow them responding consistent and relay important information or data. An understanding of signal wave attenuation along the staircase is necessary to allow better wireless network planning, especially in ad hoc cases. This paper presents empirical propagation model developed for path loss prediction along dog-leg staircase. The proposed model is based on measurement at 700 MHz in 2 measurement sites. The propagation model developed shows agreeable result when validated to an actual measurement in a different staircase. The variation of staircases layout, dimensions plus their surrounding environments demonstrate the robustness of the propagation model presented.
