Abstract :
An advanced ray tracing model has been used to perform a multidimensional characterization of propagation in ideal, Manhattan-like environments. MIMO performance estimates have then been derived from ray tracing output, including capacity estimates, in a variety of cases. Results are shown and analyzed in the paper in relation to environment and propagation characteristics.
