Recently, a number of empirical models have been introduced in the literature for the
behavior of direct path used in the design of algorithms for RF based indoor geolocation.
Frequent absence of direct path has been a major burden on the performance of these
algorithms directing researchers to discover algorithms using multipath diversity. However,
there is no reliable model for the behavior of multipath components pertinent to precise
indoor geolocation. In this dissertation, we first examine the absence of direct path by …
