LPWAN Coverage Assessment Planning Without Explicit Knowledge of Base Station Locations

Impact of Base Station Locations and Antenna Orientations on UMTS Radio Network Capacity and Coverage Evolution

The aim of this paper is to study the impact of the base station site locations and antenna orientations on UMTS radio network performance under different traffic distributions, and to find an optimum deployment strategy from 3-sectored to 6-sectored site solutions. A radio network planning tool has been used to verify the radio network system performance of different network scenarios. The res...

Efficient Determination of Optimum Base Station Locations in Urban Areas

Optimizing microcell base station locations using simulated annealing techniques

The problem of choosing the optimum locations for base stations in a microcell communications system is considered. The factors affecting optimum selection are the non-uniform service areas in complex propagation environments, the mutual coverage and interference of multiple base stations, and the service objective which is usually defined by signal level but may also be defined by delay spread...

Planning of Relay Station Locations in IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) Networks

Broadband wireless networks have received a lot of research and development in the last few years. This network technology offers data rates in the 100s of Mbps with a range of tens of miles. The IEEE have developed the 802.16 standards, also called WiMAX, to provide specifications for these networks. Currently, there are over 500 deployments of WiMAX in over 140 countries with millions of subs...

The Measurement and Analysis of Wimax Base Station Signal Coverage

This paper presents the field trial measurement data of WiMAX base station; it includes the system coverage, signal strength and available transmission rate. Data consisting of real time images, VoIP internet telephone are transmitted through Skype software by using WiMAX, HSDPA (3.5G) and EDGE (2G) transmission techniques, and these data are connected to centrally equipped wireless monitoring ...
