Summary:
A full 3D ray tracing approach for the prediction of electromagnetic wave propagation is presented. Unlike other method such as 2D or 2.5D models, this approach is based on full 3D computational geometry. Wireless cells are modeled by buildings and ground plane represented by solid bodies which comprise polygons. Possible ray paths are represented by 3D ray tubes, generated by transmitting antennas, reflections, and diffractions. Method for finding ray tubes and obtaining path losses are presented.
