Abstract :
This paper proposes a novel model for predicting the outdoor to indoor radio signal coverage. This model is based on a joint ray launching algorithm that adapts different resolutions for outdoor and indoor simulations. The performance of the joint ray launching method is evaluated by a measurement at 3.5 GHz frequency. This model appears to be efficient for a scenario with mixed resolutions, in terms of both accuracy and computational cost.
