This article provides a summary of the wave propagation models supported in WinProp for indoor scenarios.

An indoor scenario can be used for a single floor building to a large, complex multi-floor building, a campus or the inside of an aircraft. Furniture and people can be included by allowing attenuation to be set to specific volumes.

To model detailed buildings inside a larger urban scenario, use the combined urban/indoor scenario.

A typical application include (but not limited to) the WiFi coverage in a multi-floor building or aircraft.

The following wave propagation models are supported  for indoor scenarios:

  • One Slope Model (Modified Free Space Model)
  • Motley-Keenan Model
  • Multi-Wall (COST 231) Model
  • 3D Dominant Path Model
  • 3D Shooting and Bouncing Rays
  • 3D Intelligent Ray Tracing
  • 3D Standard Ray Tracing
