A Deterministic Ray Tube Method for an Indoor Propagation Prediction Model

  • Published : 2001.05.01

Abstract

This paper presents a new 3-D ray tracing technique based on the image theory with newly defined ray tubes. The proposed method can be applied to indoor environments with arbitrary building layouts and has high computational efficiency compared to the precedent methods resorting to the ray launching scheme. It predictions are in good agreement with the measurements.
