Abstract
Two theoretical full-wave models of propagation inside indoor environments are developed using modal analysis and the finite difference time domain technique. Propagation and system analysis are combined, resulting in a prediction of bit error rates, signal-to-noise ratios and coverage inside buildings. A comparison is made between the developed three-dimensional deterministic models and a stochastic model based on Rayleigh fading characteristics.
