Abstract :
A variation of cone-tracing is used to predict the signal strength in wireless networks. Differences between light and radio waves necessitate certain changes to the basic ray/cone tracing algorithm, as does the information required of the solution. The new algorithm is compared to a previous algorithm for signal strength prediction, and verified on some examples
