There is a growing interest in understanding wave behavior in urban and suburban environment for 5th generation broadband\napplications.With the advent of using broadband technologies in buildings, office space and vehicle have become a necessity on a\nlarge scale.Models, predictions, and calculations for in-building, within a vehicle or near a reflective object with microscale details,\nare becoming highly classified in a competitive telecom environment. This paper provides an improved understanding of signal\nstrength behavior within suburban residences with predictions prequalified using a vehicular scanner. Supporting predictions are\nprovided by a ray tracing algorithm developed for dissertation. Results indicate signal strength variation of more than 50 dB from\nââ?¬Å?strong signalââ?¬Â locations such as room centers and far corners to ââ?¬Å?weak signalââ?¬Â locations where shadowing and tunneling effects\nare evident. Based on this unique classification a scheme is proposed which indicates that specular scattering provides the major\nsignal energy at more than 70% of the locations within the residences. Finally, an observed rake stabilizing effect is attributed to the\nproximity of strong scatterers.
