Abstract

A new man-made shadowing model was proposed. This model enables us to estimate deterministically the man-made shadowing effects, which are one of the dominant factors with indoor radio communication. The model can be used with the numerous propagation prediction methods based on ray prediction. Moreover, it allows the selection of appropriate locations and antenna characteristics for macroscopic diversity branches for the base station. The increase in loss due to man-made shadowing is a function of frequency, polarization, antenna height, etc.
