Abstract:

3D vector database,including scenario database and visible elements(surface and wedge)database,is essential to ray tracing channel modeling method.In this paper,a method on building 3D vector database for urban microcellular and indoor scenarios is presented.First,a simplified method of 3D CAD modeling is applied in building the 3D models and database of scenarios.Then,a modified perspective projection method is employed to build 3D visible elements database of viewpoint in terms of the scenario.Further the computation complexity of ray tracing model based on visible elements database is analyzed.The simulation results show that the method can efficiently reduce the computation complexity of ray tracing channel modeling method.

Key words: ray tracing, scenario modeling, visible surface, vector database
