Abstract :
The authors review the coverage prediction techniques in use for indoor wireless communications systems. The production of computer-generated coverage maps, allowing an interactive design for a particular indoor site using an engineering workstation, is the goal of coverage and propagation prediction. The authors examine the approaches and techniques known to be available for the production of these coverage maps, for both radio and optical indoor wireless communication systems
