Abstract

In this article, we compare deterministic methodologies for characterizing channel behavior in heterogeneous and composite scenarios. These techniques include one that combines a 3D ray launching (RL) approach based on geometrical optics (GO), a second based on GO and the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD), and another that includes a diffusion equation (DE) method based on the equation of transfer. A new methodology based on the GO and DE is presented and shown to achieve accurate results when compared with real measurements. The proposed technique provides a computational time reduction of up to 90% compared to the conventional approach using GO with the UTD and DE.
