Abstract

        Fast radio wave propagation prediction is of tremendous interest for
planning and optimization of cellular radio networks. We propose a
cube oriented 3D ray launching algorithm for both fast and accurate
field strength prediction, particularly suitable for urban scenarios.
Our model allows field strength prediction for a 5 sqkm area
with 5 meter resolution in about 8 sec with mean squared
error of 7 dB. As urban environments cannot be completely described,
we recommend a parameter calibration for different cities using
measurement data from test runs.
