A review of existing theories of diffraction is presented, as well as topics of analysis of electromagnetic signals propagation and propagation models. In the sequence the assumptions of the proposition of the diffraction and propagation model are discussed in order to justify the proposed model. Finally comparative theoretical and experimental results are presented about this new model. / Este trabalho prop?e um novo Modelo de Propaga??o que considera difra??o lateral em edif?cios para predi??es de n?vel de sinal ponto-multiponto. S?o apresentadas as teorias de difra??o existentes, assim como t?picos de an?lise da propaga??o de sinais eletromagn?ticos e modelos de propaga??o. Com as bases te?ricas s?o discutidas as premissas da proposi??o do modelo de difra??o e propaga??o que justificam o modelo proposto neste trabalho. Por fim s?o apresentados resultados te?ricos comparativos e experimentais deste novo modelo.
