• Urban Dominant Path Model (UDP)
• Ray Tracing (3D or  2x2D)
• Standard Ray Tracing (SRT)
  
• Intelligent Ray Tracing (IRT)
  

• 3D Vector Databases: Indoor / Tunnel
  
• Empirical Direct Ray Models

Especially the combined network planning modules (CNP) should be mentioned in this context as they allow a combination of  different propagation scenarios (e.g. 3D indoor vector data combined with urban vector buildings and with pixel data for the topography) with one propagation model (e.g. penetration into urban buildings).
