Abstract
A computer-implemented modeling tool for cellular telephone systems predicts signal strength under real conditions within a building, by considering the effects of inter-building and intra-building structures on transmitted signals. The modeling tool gives more accurate predictions under line of sight conditions, when obstructions occur due to inter-building and intra-building structures.
