Abstract :
This paper presents a comparative analysis between two techniques for modelling propagation inside buildings: ray-launching and tube-launching. The performance of both algorithms is described, focusing on the problems that arise when modelling three-dimensional structures. Based on this idea, we expose some advantages and disadvantages of each method in terms of efficiency and accuracy of the results
