Abstract :
A new triangular-grid ray tracing (TGRT) method is proposed in this paper. It is based on dividing the propagation region into triangles. The number of triangles is decided by the number of structures´ vertices, instead of their dimensions. For the 2D case, it can reduce the visible decision calculation to 2 edges for each triangle. It is shown that this method unifies the indoor and/or outdoor propagation problems and provides savings in computational time.
