Description
Summary:A simple field prediction model based on a combination of a two-parameter propagation formula and a multi-wall model is proposed for fast and yet accurate indoor and indoor-to-outdoor field prediction. The model's approach is based on: simplicity; physical soundness; and adaptability to the available environment-database format. The model is validated versus both ray tracing and measurements in different environments and it is shown to perform very well in all cases. Moreover, the model is very fast and can exploit the accuracy plus of deterministic prediction based on the 3-D indoor building map whenever it is available.
