Simulation module for coverage prediction in mobile radio

This paper presents an analysis of the parameters which influence the wave propagation between transmitting and receiving antennas located on the same floor of an office building. Using the ray-tracing method, the model considers all the possible paths, namely the direct path, reflections from internal and external walls, diffraction by knife and vertical edges and the radiation in all possible directions. Results are presented using the impulse response of the multipath channel in millimetre waves.
