Abstract

In this paper a hybrid ray tracing/statistical channel model for the ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency range is proposed. The conventional ray tracing model is complemented with randomly distributed point scatterers placed on the surface of large objects like walls. The wave propagation in such scenario is calculated in a deterministic way. The parameters of the scatterers are derived from the measurements of reflection from typical indoor walls.
