  Small cells are one of the solutions to face the imperative demand on
increasing mobile data traffic. They are low-powered base stations installed
close to the users to offer better network services and to deal with increased
data traffic. In this paper, the global exposure induced in such networks as a
whole from user equipment and base stations has been investigated. As the small
cell is close to the user, the propagation channel becomes highly variable and
strongly susceptible by environmental factors such as the road traffic. An
innovative statistical path loss model is constructed based on measurements on
two French commercial LTE small cells, operating at LTE 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz .
This statistical path loss model is then used to assess global exposure of the
adult proportion of a population in a scenario composed of a street lined with
buildings, indoor and outdoor data users.
