Apparatuses and methods for facilitating an inverse ray tracing to determine properties of signals and services

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• emitting, in a simulated environment, a ray from an observation point to a predetermined location where network infrastructure is located;
• recursively generating, in the simulated environment, reflected surfaces from surfaces that the ray reflects from, wherein the recursively generating of the reflected surfaces assumes that the surfaces are unbounded surfaces;
• recursively generating, in the simulated environment, a reflected location of the predetermined location using the surfaces, wherein the recursively generating of the reflected location assumes that the surfaces are unbounded surfaces;
• identifying, in the simulated environment based on the reflected location, potential locations along the surfaces using the reflected surfaces;
• and
• verifying, in the simulated environment based on the potential locations and in accordance with respective objects associated with the unbounded surfaces having corresponding bounded surfaces, that the ray traverses a valid path between the predetermined location and the observation point.
