contents This paper presents detailed radio propagation measurements for an indoor factory (InF) environment at 6.75 GHz and 16.95 GHz using a 1 GHz bandwidth channel sounder. Conducted at the NYU MakerSpace in the NYU Tandon School of Engineering campus in Brooklyn, NY, USA, our measurement campaign characterizes the radio propagation in a representative small factory with diverse machinery and open workspaces across 12 locations, comprising 5 line-of-sight (LOS) and 7 non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios. Analysis using the close-in (CI) free space path loss (FSPL) model with a 1 m reference distance reveals path loss exponents (PLE) below 2 in LOS at 6.75 GHz and 16.95 GHz, while in NLOS, PLE is similar to free-space propagation (e.g., PLE = 2). The RMS delay spread (DS) decreases at higher frequencies with a clear frequency dependence. Also, measurements show a wider RMS angular spread (AS) in NLOS compared to LOS at both frequency bands, with a decreasing trend as frequency increases. These observations in a dense-scatterer factory environment demonstrate frequency-dependent behavior that differs from existing industry-standard 3GPP models. Our findings provide crucial insights into complex propagation mechanisms in factory environments, essential for designing robust air interface and industrial wireless networks at the upper mid-band FR3 spectrum.
