Propagation prediction for indoor wireless local area network application

The application of wireless local area network (WLAN) is increasing in offices, it becomes important to study signal propagation indoor environment. In this Paper, the Site Ware Technologies` site specific propagation prediction tool is a Three-dimensional (3-D) ray tracing code employing modified shoot and bounce Ray (SBR) method known as the Vertical Plane Launch (VPL) is used to predict indoor propagation effects in a cultural Center. The simulation experiment is carried out to select the best location for installing a transmitter in a large center with many rooms and corridors. Receivers should available in all of the rooms. To understand how electromagnetic waves reach the receiver, visualization software was used based on Matlab. This type of simulation will save money by selecting the minimum power of a single transmitter and choosing the least number of transmitters in large buildings.
