Abstract

A new approach to indoor propagation prediction which is based on the Rayleigh-Gans approximation is proposed. The approach has been motivated by the observation that the indoor environment is different from the outdoor environment in that many of the structures within buildings are approximately the size of a wavelength making propagation prediction based on high frequency techniques not strictly applicable. In this paper details of the Rayleigh-Gans approximation are provided. Actual indoor propagation measurements are also provided to allow preliminary discussions on the accuracy of the Rayleigh-Gans approximation to be given. Comparisons with simulations of empirical and ray tracing models are also provided. The results indicate that further development would be worthwhile.
