Channel propagation models are essential in developing efficient wireless
communication networks. Indoor propagation relies on the nature of the
surrounding environment. Therefore, many researchers have provided
different ways for effective propagation modeling and received power
prediction. In this paper, ray-tracing-based site-specific propagation models
are presented. The actual measurements are obtained using many wireless
access points (AP) based on IEEE 802.11 with different technologies a/b/g
and n as transmitters and mobile phone with a proposed mobile application
used as a receiver to collect the power at different locations called reference
points (RPs), these measurements are done without the existence of people
movement. The simulation results are obtained using wireless InSite
simulator depends on 3D shoot and bounce ray (SBR) method. The
simulation measurements are assessed by comparing it with the actual
measurements and they analyze statistically such that the correlation
coefficient R between them reaches up to 80% which is an indicator to an
acceptable agreement. Path loss characteristic affected by the building
materials and distance along the receiver’s route is evaluated.
