Abstract :
Emerging geolocation applications require the accurate detection of the direct line-of sight (DLOS) path in order to correctly estimate the range between a transmitter and a receiver. A mathematical analysis of the probability of detecting the DLOS path with a given indoor radio channel model is provided and verified with simulations. Analytical results for the JTC indoor office channel model C are compared with the results of ray tracing in Atwater Kent Labs at WPI
