Generación de un manual de simulaciones de cobertura en la red de acceso móvil

Abstract

The present document shows a coverage simulations manual for the access network of a mobile operator. This manual contains basic explanations about the tool's usage and is followed by a series of examples that represent the situations that the operator can face to. The examples are focused on the propagation models used by the tool and the effects produced by the modification of the physical and configuration parameters of a base station. Is important to know that the coverage diagrams are shown as the result of each simulation example and are followed by their respective explanations. In order to develop the manual, some theoric references, necessaries for the tool's management, were developed previously. These theoric references were focused on: the fading effects such as PATH LOSS, SLOW FADING and FAST FADING; propagation models such as OKUMURA-HARA model; and the access network of GSM and UMTS systems.
