Combined Ray-Tracing/FDTD and Network Planner Methods for the Design of Massive MIMO Networks

The design of a massive MIMO network requires a channel model that captures the Spatio-temporal dimensions of the propagation environment. In this paper, we propose a novel method combining Hybrid Raytracing - Finite difference time domain (FDTD) and network planner tools to address this requirement...
