Abstract :
A linear model of the indoor communication and the associated impulse response as invariant under time translations is considered. The fully three-dimensional channel simulator developed evaluates the power losses in a building as a function of the TX-RX separation. For a given floor, once the antenna heights are chosen and the nature, orientation and heights of the walls are determined the program returns the power loss as a function of the distance and compares it to various estimations based on existing experimental or empirical results
