            Abstract : 
This paper presents classification of the related methods used in wireless channel modeling, including mathematical modeling, stochastic modeling, Ray-tracing, Ray-launching, FDTD. The comparison between the empirical models and the deterministic models helps to distinguish the application situation of each channel model. Therefore, the study will promote the wireless channel models development, and optimize the channel characteristics.
