Abstract :
This article presents a flexible approach to the propagation process allowing analysis of indoor and outdoor environments, and of the interaction between them. The method is based on a full 3D implementation of geometrical optics and the uniform theory of diffraction (GO/UTD). Ray tracing is efficiently carried out by combining image theory with binary space partitioning algorithms
