The paper continues the series dedicated to ray tracing issues in fifth-generation and beyond radio access networks and systematizes the theoretical foundations and practical application scenarios of the Shooting and Bouncing Rays (SBR) method. The physical principles and mathematical models of the SBR method are considered. Using simulation modeling in the Matlab software environment with digital terrain models, the mechanism for adapting the SBR method to the task of predicting ray trajectories in radio access networks with base stations employing antenna arrays is illustrated.
