Abstract
This paper presents multipath characteristics of non-specular scattering from building surface roughness. Superresolution method was applied as an approach to handle signal parameters (DOA, TOA) of the individual incoming waves reflected from building surface roughness. In order to comprehend in detail the microscopic mechanisms of scattering, signal parameters are to be incorporated into the geometrical ray tracing. The results show that the multiple paths can he detected from many scatterers, such as ground, window glass, window frame, bricks surface, as well as directly from the transmitter. Most of the scattered waves arrives closely from specular directions.
