A full‐wave indoor propagation model based on the two‐dimensional (2D) volume electric field integral equation (VEFIE) is presented. The model is discretised with the method of moments (MoM). The linear system arising from the MoM discretisation is solved with an iterative solver accelerated by using the fast Fourier transform and a reduced operator. The 2D VEFIE is validated against the analytical Mie series solution for scattering from a dielectric cylinder before being applied to a typical indoor propagation environment and compared against measurements. It is also compared against current popular empirical models and ray tracing. The ability of the frequency domain VEFIE method to produce time domain information is demonstrated with an investigation of numerical considerations that must be made.

“…Specially, a 2D FMM implemented via pulse expansion functions and point matching that can handle arbitrary polarization of electric and magnetic fields/currents is proposed here, that can solve large scale GSTC/metasurface problems. While an accelerated IE solver has also been applied to large scale environments before in the literature using a volume integral equation method [36]- [38], the use of volume integral makes this method unable to incorporate GSTCs. Although, the FMM is commonly applied to two dimensional scattering problems [33], [35], much of what is reported in the literature is developed for either TM z or TE z polarization (in terms of EFIE, MFIE or CFIE integrals), which are not easily extendable to general metasurface boundaries where both the electric and magnetic fields are tightly coupled through the surface susceptibilities in the GSTCs.…”

“…These approximations require the MR-FDPF method to be calibrated with measurements before it can be used as an accurate propagation model, thus, calling into question the deterministic nature of the model. The volume electric field integral equation (VEFIE) has previously been investigated for indoor propagation modelling in [16][17][18] but has not been validated against measurements before for a realistic indoor environment. In this paper, the VEFIE is used as the basis for a full-wave three-dimensional indoor propagation model.…”

The transition towards next generation communications has increased the need for fast and accurate propagation models that can predict all aspects of the wireless channel. This paper develops a very accurate approach for indoor propagation modelling based on the volume electric field integral equation (VEFIE). The three-dimensional form of the VEFIE is used to predict frequency domain characteristics. Whilst, a 2D to 3D model is developed based on the 2D VEFIE to perform accurate and efficient time domain predictions. The 2D to 3D model applies correction terms to the solution of the 2D VEFIE to account for three-dimensional propagation. Both models are compared against frequency and time domain measurements as well as popular empirical models for both scenarios.
