A comparative study for radioelectric coverage models applied to mobile communicaton systems performance analysis

摘要

The highlight of this paper is to find the best performance provided by a certain propagation model indicated by the correlational analysis between predicted data and field measurements. An analysis of the radio coverage for mobile networks was made, based on base station parameters provided by mobile system operator in the system of the Brazilian National Telecommunication Agency (Anatel). Due to the availability of high resolution data for the representation of the environment, it was possible to perform a comparative analysis of different prediction models associated to diffraction methods. Still was performed a massive measurement campaign followed by data treatment, for support an accurate comparative analysis of radio propagation effects.
