CoreST rationale
• Deterministic Approach
• Direct ray tracing
• 3D scansion
Only some years ago following such a strategy was
considered to be
IMPOSSIBLE

Microwaves
Geometrical Optics
Two kinds of ray tracing algorithms
• Inverse Algorithms (proper ray tracing) – all feasible paths between site and receiver are explored, and field value at receiver is calculated from contributes.
• Direct Algorithms (ray launching) - rays span the scene and are followed until a threshold value is reached. At each sample point field is evaluated.
PROPAGATION: RAY TRACING TECHNIQUES
Pros: accuracy, global computation (Best Server, Network Planning )
Cons: computation load
Pros: faster, e.g. graphic 3D rendering
Cons: only feasible for end-to-end links

DIFFRACTION COEFFICIENT
• Perfectly conducting or perfectly absorbing wedges:
asymptotic evaluation of exact solutions for f .
• Dielectric wedges: Heuristic generalisation of the formula for perfectly conducting wedges.
It provides intermediate results between the two ideal cases, and is usually in better agreement with measurements.

DIFFRACTION: PROCEDURE
• Evaluating diffraction coefficient is not only a local problem: to evaluate it we need to know distance between edge and illuminated point
• It is necessary to recognized what kind of illumination we have: spherical (reflected or direct field) or cylindrical (diffracted ray)
• The procedure must recognize when we have either one or two reflection boundary
• For any illuminated edge, we only store information about the wedge and the distance between the primary source and the wedge; for any illuminated point, we use this information to evaluate the field
HOW CAN WE USE UTD LIMITING EVALUATION TIME?

TWO APPROACHES
DIRECT APPROACH INVERSE APPROACH
•For any ray illuminating the horizontal wedge we try to represent the whole Keller cone
•We launch a set of vertical plane covering the same area of the set of Keller cone generated from analyzed edge
•In scanning points along an anxel we reconstruct path trough horizontal edge

OUR CHOICE
INVERSE APPROACH
•Direct method was not so natural in this case
•The impact on evaluation time is almost non-existent
•No need of new resources (time, memory space)
•Good agreement with direct results
•No threshold

HOW DOES IT WORK?
•In scanning a vertical plan, if we intersect a horizontal
wedge, we store the information about the incident field for each
incident anxel
•For the following points on the ground, we check which has an view angle smaller
than the Keller cone’s aperture

Patched wall model • The main walls of the buildings are
composed of different materials.
• It is necessary to introduce patches of different dielectric constants and physical sizes to represent actual objects.
• Two different patches may be used: concrete wall and glass.

VERTICAL SCAN
The beam of the source is scanned. To generate virtual secondary sources, it is analyzed in iterative manner the basic structure Soil/Wall/Roof of each building in the beam.
On each floor level, for each output grid’s pixel of indoor coverage map the optical-ray transmitted through the illuminated wall is evaluated.
