Using ray tracing(1/2) 。 Ray tracing(RT)is not only a prediction tool,is a realistic multipath propagation model.Therefore using ray tracing doesn't only mean getting coverage or prediction results.As far as the model is realistic,it also allows simulation, study,analysis of the urban multipath propagation phenomenon. RT(or ray launching)is also the most accurate prediction model now available. In terms of radio coverage prediction,a mean error of a fraction ofdB and a stdev of the error of 5-7 dB are achievable in practice. Although RT isn't an empirical model,some run parameters must be set before running RT.The following is a list of typical parameter values for outdoor prediction in european cities Control string:3@***@2dls which means: Nev-3 max.2 diffractions max.I scattering Material parameters:e,=5,s-0.01 [S/m](for all building walls) Coherent mode 2

Using ray tracing (2/2) HB n=] 2 h R h Since diffraction is a very time-consuming interaction,and up to 10 or more diffractions are required for ORT paths,then often ORT propagation is treated off-line using a multi-diffraction ORT model even if the RT model is 3D Then multi-diffraction ORT is considered as one single interaction in the RT engine and in the view tree,so that it can be combined with other interactions even with Nev is low Rays experiencing"ORT+scattering"or"ORT+reflected"are very important for time and angle dispersion 3
