Abstract :
A shooting and bouncing beams (SBB) method is presented, for indoor propagation channel modeling. The advantage of the method comes from the fact that the number of beams to be launched is smaller than the number of rays in ray-tracing or ray-launching methods. The SBB method is particularly well suited for the millimeter wave range. Its application is illustrated by radio coverage simulations in a corridor at 37.2 GHz. Simulated results are compared with experimental results
