Abstract

In this paper a new propagation model is proposed for use in complex indoor environments. The model was tested in the frequency range of 2.4 GHz in the environment with long hallways where the effect of guided waves may occur. The comparison with measurements confirmed that proposed model can be effectively used in such environments.
