An Improved 3D Ray Launching Method for Wireless Propagation Prediction

3D ray tracing produces accurate, deterministic channel models for wireless system design. Increasing a ray tracing algorithm's ability to identify correct propagation paths reduces the kinematic errors of a simulation. This paper presents a new 3D ray tracing technique that reduces kinematic errors associated with ray launching algorithms.
