Abstract

A proper site choice of base stations is important for establishing a stable and secure wireless communication channel. Accordingly, a propagation prediction method, which can be easily implemented for a high frequency wireless communication channel in an urban environment should be developed. The basic idea of the ray tracing technique to account for reflection and diffraction from the ground and surrounding building structure is discussed for propagation prediction in an urban environment.
