Novel tracing algorithm vs Remcom Wireless InSite
Abstract
Results of comparison between a popular commercialsoftware for radio wave propagation modeling versus
prototype implementation of a novel algorithm proposed by the
author of this paper is discussed. It is shown that both algorithms
lead to very similar results while the new one is faster by a few
orders of magnitude.
