Method to match waves of ray-tracing simulations with 3-D high-resolution propagation measurements

High-resolution propagation measurements were carried out to verify the angular and delay dispersion predicted by ray-tracing models. To do the comparison between the measured and simulated results, the corresponding waves should first be identified. This paper introduces a method to find the corresponding relationship of waves automatically. The results show that the algorithm can successfully find the matching simulated and measured waves. It also provides the information to find and further investigate the most dominant propagation mechanisms.
