Description
Summary:A software tool for planning and sizing wireless networks based on standard 802.16 is presented in this paper. Due to the deployment of communication systems based on this standard, it is necessary a tool which allows an easy implementation and sizing of this type of networks. With this tool the user will be able to define technical specifications of transmitters and receivers, design parameters of the network and different propagation models, and evaluate point to point links and point to multipoint networks, obtaining results such as losses in the link, power received, signal noise rate, coverage or bit rates the network is able to handle. The versatility of the tool has been contrasted with experimental results obtained in a real deployment in a rural zone in Spain
