Planning of WiMAX networks


Network Planning

By defining multiple base stations the coverage area can be computed for each site individually as well as for the whole area. Based on the predictions of the received power (or path loss) for each antenna different radio network planning outputs are calculated, which allow the user to analyze the network performance (see the following figures):




Max. achievable data rate
Max. received power






Best server
SNIR






Nr. of received channels

___
