Evaluation of Technology IP-OFDMA software

This program simulates the propagation of technology IP_OFDMA in diverse environments using some models.

 

The use way consists of a series of stages until arriving in the final results. The stages are:

 

1)    Basic Parameters:

Input the mainly parameters about your simulation, such as:

 

2) Sensitivity parameters:

         The sensitivity parameters are in accordance with the model of equipment. Thus, to fill the table of parameters, you need to verified the data, already priced in the address of the page.

 

3) Core characteristics:

         Select the channel and the flow and input the BS-to-BS distance and maximum users supported by system.

 

4) Propagation       

         Choose the Propagation Model, Environmental Beta, Path loss, Initial Distance, Variable Distance and Final Distance, being that:

·         The Propagation Model normally is the Shadowing, therefore to another option it is the free space (vacuum).

·         The Environmental Beta represents the quality of the environment to be studied. Its value varies between 2 and 6, and how much bigger it will be, worse it is the condition of the environment.

·         The Path loss is the loss throughout the way, also loss call multhpath.

·         The initial and final distance is the distances that the propagation will be studied by the simulator.

·         The variable distance means the frequency in meters where the received power will be evaluated.

 

Moreover, it must be chosen enters two options of analysis: on the basis of the distances or on the basis of the minimum sensitivity of the equipment.

 

5) Type of analysis:

After all the parameters placed in the first screen, select the type of analysis to be made:

Analysis Results

 

After all the selected parameters and chosen options of simulation, we will have three resultant graphs:

 

1) Distance Analysis

This first graph presents the variation of the power through the environment (dBm) for in the distance average reached (Km).

The red and yellow lines respectively mean the minimum sensitivity of the equipment chosen for 10MHz and 5MHz.

Figure 2 – Distance

 

 

2) Transmission Map

This second graph presents the distribution of rates in the propagation area, being that how much lesser the power, smaller is the rate and clearer is the area of the graph. The inverse one also is correct to affirm being that the area darkest has the bigger power and rate.

The limits and the bands (%) presented in the graph are gotten of the parameters of sensitivity of the equipment.

3) Users Analysis

In the third graph have relation between the distances and the number of users who will be able to use the system.

The red line is the line of the user and the others are the sensitivity parameters of equipment.
