An improved ray-tracing propagation model for predicting path loss on single floors.

An improved ray-tracing propagation prediction model for predicting path loss on single floors in indoor environments is developed. It utilizes the results of a two-dimensional (2-D) ray-tracing technique to deal with a three-dimensional (3-D) problem. This approach is more efficient than the usual 3-D ray-tracing model and more accurate than the usual 2-D ray-tracing model. Simulation results agree well with measurement. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 22: 39–41, 1999. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
