Model for urban and indoor cellular propagation using percolation theory

A method for the analysis and statistical characterization of wave propagat ion in indoor and urban cellular radio channels is presented, based on a pe rcolation model. Pertinent principles of the theory are briefly reviewed, a nd applied to the problem of interest. Relevant quantities, such as pulsed- signal arrival rate, number of reflections against obstacles, and path leng ths are deduced and related to basic environment parameters such as obstacl e density and transmitter-receiver separation. Results an found to be in go od agreement with alternative simulations and measurements.
